Fans of Taylor Swift are abuzz with rumors that she could be cast in the upcoming remake of The Bodyguard. This romantic thriller first hit screens in 1992, starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. Interestingly, Sam Wrench, who directed Taylor Swift’s 2023 concert film titled “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” is now reported to be at the helm of directing this new adaptation, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
The wrench is gaining recognition in the movie industry, having just contributed to ‘A Nonsense Christmas’ alongside Sabrina Carpenter. Previous collaborations with Taylor Swift are sparking speculation among fans that she might be considered for the main character.
Through her latest partnership with Wrench, it appears that Taylor Swift’s involvement in the project has grown stronger. The Eras Tour movie, which he masterfully directed, was a massive success globally. It showcased Swift’s performances in Los Angeles and surpassed all other concert films in earnings, grossing an impressive USD 261.7 million worldwide.
The screenplay for the upcoming remake is being penned by Jonathan Abrams, who has just completed work on Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2. This project has been in the works for more than a decade and was previously scripted by Matthew Lopez. Although no official casting decisions have been made yet, the team’s extensive industry experience and Taylor Swift’s devoted fanbase may help expedite the progress of this project.
During a chat on Today with Jenna & Friends, Tyra Banks expressed her casting ideas. She proposed Taylor Swift for the main role and Idris Elba for the male lead. In her words, “I believe Taylor Swift because she has an incredible ability to captivate audiences through both business and art, making her a phenomenal box-office draw.
She additionally stated, “I’m an African-American girl, it was Whitney Houston as a Black woman, Kevin Costner as a White man. If we reversed roles, wouldn’t it be Taylor Swift and Idris Elba? That would be hot!” When inquired about why she didn’t consider herself for the part, Banks responded, “Absolutely not. We need someone who can truly sing.” (This version aims to keep the original sentiment while making it more accessible and easier to read.)
