Profitable film with bad reviews
The original action is about the famous singer Rachel Marron (Houston) and her bodyguard Frank Farmer (Costner). His task is actually only to track down a psychopathic stalker of the singer. Over time, as it should be for a romance, a love relationship between Marron and Farmer develops.
Despite the success, “Bodyguard” also had to withstand a lot of criticism. The film was nominated in seven categories of the negative film award, including “worst actress”, “badest actor” and “worst film”.
Concert film expert announced as a director
Now the classic should still get a remake. Details on the line -up are not yet known. According to “Deadline”, Sam Wrench should direct the new edition. The 34-year-old was already involved in concert films for Billie Eilish, BTS and Lizzo as well as “A nonsens Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter”. His greatest success so far is the film adaptation of Taylor Swift’s world tour “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”.
The remake complements a number of other films that Warner Bros. wants to revive. For films such as “The Matrix”, “Gremlins” and “The Goonies”, work is now also being done. In 2024, a remake of “Beetlejuice” was published, which recorded $ 147 million in the first five days after the theatrical release.
