Warner Bros. Remaking THE BODYGUARD

So for some reason Warner Bros. has decided to remake the 1992 film The Bodyguard... I don't get it. It's not April fools day is it? The original film starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, and told the story of a secret service agent drafted to protect a singing diva whose life has been threatened by a stalker, then falling for her in a way he fears is a distraction from his job. Despite being a crappy movie made $411 million dollars.

Deadline reports that "the new version is similar, including the love story, but here the bodyguard will be a former Iraq war veteran who gets the job protecting the star as his first gig after leaving the Army. He discovers that the world of Twitter, Google Maps and TMZ has made access to celebrities easier than ever, making the job more difficult than ever. The goal is to take a young female singer with global appeal and give her the platform that The Bodyguard did Houston."

The remake is being scripted by Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer who wrote a action comedy script called Family Getaway, which landed on the 2010 Black List of best unproduced screenplays.

Let me guess... Miley Cyrus will be cast as the young female singer, and Channing Tatum will be cast as the Iraq War Vetran.

Ugg... I don't want to waste anymore of my time writing about this.
