THE BODYGUARD Remake From TAYLOR SWIFT: THE ERAS TOUR Director In The Works at Warner Bros

A remake of the 1992 romantic thriller "The Bodyguard" is currently in the works at Warner Bros. The original film starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston and was a box office hit, grossing $441 million worldwide. It was nominated for two Oscar nominations for Best Original Song. The remake will be directed by "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" director Sam Wrench from a script by "Juror No. 2" writer Jonathan A. Abrams.

No casting has been set. The original was directed by Mick Jackson from a script by Lawrence Kasdan ("Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), and it starred Costner as a former Secret Service agent, who takes a job as bodyguard to a famous R&B star (Houston) who is being threatened by a dangerous stalker. Its soundtrack became the best-selling of all time, and the best-selling album by a female artist of all time, featuring hits like "I Will Always Love You", "I'm Every Woman", "Queen of the Night" and the Oscar-nominated songs "Run to You" and "I Have Nothing".

Warner Bros is ardently trying to resurrect some of its classic IPs. Other revivals/reboots in the works include a new "Practical Magic" movie reteaming Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, "Gremlins", a "Goonies" sequel, an "Ocean's Eleven" prequel starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the "Lord of the Rings" spinoff "Gollum" directed by Andy Serkis and an animated "Cat in the Hat" movie.

Weekend Box-Office: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Dominates Lackluster Post-Halloween Frame

"Five Nights at Freddy's" is still the No. 1 movie at the box-office, but overall it's not really great news. "Dune: Part Two" was originally set to release this weekend, but due to the actors strike, that movie was delayed, and the box-office ended up dropping 50% from last weekend to an estimated 64.6 million, making it the fourth lowest of 2023 to date. "Dune: Part 2" now comes out on March 15, 2024. "The Marvels" opens next weekend, which should give the box-office a boost.
