Recently, Warner Bros. Studios announced that a remake of the 1992 box office smash The Bodyguard, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, was in the works. The original film grossed over $400 million worldwide and its accompanying soundtrack featuring tracks from Houston made an even bigger splash winning dozens of awards, including several Grammy Awards and American Music Awards. Houston even embarked on a worked tour of the same title for over a year and decades later, an award-winning Broadway musical hit the scene.
With the announcement, several big names to start as Rachel Marron (Houston) and Frank Farmer (Costner), in the story of a megastar who appoints the help of a bodyguard to protect her, have been thrown around.
