The Bodyguard to be remade

Jaden Smith IS Rachel Marron!

Tyler Perry IS everyone!

Stale shit. DO SOMETHING NEW HOLLYWOOD.

Never let her out of your sight. Never let your guard down. Never fall in love.

Lorraine Cox IS Rachel Marron! Evan Rachel Wood IS Frank.

Is there a role for Elliot Page as an ex secret services elite trained killer?

I would love for it to star Elliot Page and Lizzo, if only for the scene where he has to carry her through the crowd.

Was it not woke enough?

R5 answered my question.

LOL r7!!! Do you consider The Bodyguard “woke” because it featured an interracial romance?

Sure.

I may be too young for the role, but I think I have the gravitas as a worldwide music and cinema legend to do this character justice. Call me.

I Have Nothing...Between My Legs Anymore

What do we know about Matthew Lopez?

He looks like David Archuletta?

IIIIIIIII-EEEE-IIIIIIII-EEEE-IIIIIIIIII-WILL-NEVER

LOVE-YEEEEWWWW-WHOOOOWHOO WHOOOWWWWWWWWWWW.

With a forklift.

R16, I was picturing wobbly legs and falling on his ass only to have Lizzo pick him up and carry Elliot through the crowd. It wouldn't make any sense in the scene but it'd be hilarious to watch.

Yawn, the "I hate trans people" brigade never stops dragging trans people into EVERY discussion

The film spent 10 weeks in the Top 10, ultimately grossing $121.9 million domestically, and $410.9 million worldwide.

I was today years old when I learned that the world went absolutely apeshit for this movie.

But don’t you “hate” ex-gays, R18?

Will only watch it if they make it gay - maybe Justin Bieber and a bodyguard with BBC.

Is this turning into a franchise like A Star Is Born? A remake every few years. Hope not. The original was a great pop movie.

R13 he wrote The Inheritance, an AIDS-era homage to Howards End, which features EM Forster as a character.

So I doubt this will be a “straight” adaptation.

Make no mistake - Katharine McPhee will blow your minds as Rachel.

Another so-called Progressive Remake. It looks more like a propaganda from Hollywood than a remake. America is sickening the whole world with its Woke dogma. No wonder people are turning to Asian cinema which is much more creative.

Queen Latifah should play Frank.

I will only watch if Froy is the singer and Richard Madden the bodyguard.

I Used To Be Every Woman!

Why are people saying this is going to be so "woke" and "progressive"? Is it because of who's producing/directing it or because of Lopez? If you're referring to Lopez, the two lead characters in "The Inheritance" were both white males, so he does not limit himself to only writing about people of color. (Granted, both were gay, which also falls under the "woke" umbrella.)

You can't remake the original. It's a classic.

Because everything is woke and progressive. The Wonder Years reboot is black. The Father of the Bride remake is latinx. Woke up and smell the coffee!

I Love Lucia!

And again this intellectual dishonesty coming from the same brainwashed idiots. Transforming Whitney Houston charactere, who is a woman, into a Trans is not progressive nor Woke ??? After that, when people say that Trans people want to erase women, the trannies dare to take offense. I won't lose a single cent for this pure progressive Hollywood crap.

Due to the woke culture, the singer will be a trans and the bodyguard is a macho lesbo

“Macho lesbians” are not part or welcomed into woke culture.

Nobody asked Hollywood to convert to wokism. They are so out of touch with reality and real people that they think that Trans people who don't even represent 1% of the people in the world, are a majority. Keep your propaganda in America. I'm sick of your decadence. Fed up!

Jesus Chirst can they stop remaking movies and.. I dunno, come up with an original idea?

What a disgrace.

Why not a sequel. Why a remake.

OP, in the 90s, when Britney and Justin were dating, there were rumors Britney and Justin were going to star in a Bodyguard remake. Imagine the horror!!!

It wasn’t even that good of a movie.

Most people remember the soundtrack more than the film. The film was quite mediocre.

R37 Meh nothing is new under the sun. Hollywood has been remaking movies since the 1930’s. Stories can be retold to new generations because new generations find older versions to be boring and dated. How much of America’s young movie audience has even seen “The Bodyguard”? So I don’t feel like there’s anything wrong with remakes.

Armie in the Costner role. And for Whitney.

I will say, I wish Hollywood would remake movies that sucked but deserved a second chance. Like “Drop Dead Fred” and “Once Upon A Crime”. Great concepts, terrible movies but watchable.

I'm old. I feel that are great writers out there. Look at some of the great stuff showing up here & there. Why the hell is Hollywood so into promoting remake, retooled, recycled crap over & over & over? Is it purely nepotism & it's not who you know it's who you blow? Don't they have ANY number guys who say, look at streaming, looking Asiana cinema, their getting the audience? Any of you inside industry people who have some insight on this, please enlighten me. I was in a small profitable business for a few years, not films. Learned if it ain't making $$ move on.

Lest we forget it was long ago to have been a vehicle for Diana Ross and Ryan O’Neal.

r46 Because it has brand recognition so they feel it has a built in audience. Original fans from the 90s will watch, and so will their kids, depending on who is cast and how it’s marketed. Hollywood loves a safe bet and pays a bundle for research. Plus, there is a bottomless appetite for content now.

Would it be too cliche to have Rihanna play Rachel?

R49 Rachel is supposed to have talent.

Rachel should be Sean Mendes.

R50 I guess i deserved that 🤣

R47 I thought it was Steve McQueen.

True. They apparently are actually men, because they have short hair and wear jeans.
