Music and cinema go hand in hand, and Sam Wrench knows it well. The filmmaker, recently recognized first of all for directing the film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” (2023), has launched another project that combines both disciplines. But, this time, it will not be a millionaire and successful tour, but will look at the past to recover one of the most iconic musical tapes that are remembered. It’s about “The bodyguard” (1992), film directed by Mick Jackson and starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, and that will now inspire a new version. It will be Wrench who gets in charge of this project.
Accustomed to making concert films such as, because he also took care of working in that regard with Billie Eilish or Sabrina Carpenter, Werench now faces a new challenge. Will direct a new version of the romantic cult film of the 90s From the hand of Warner Bros, reports “Deadline”. In addition, it reveals the aforementioned medium that the script will be carried out by the writer Jonathan A. Abrams, while no details of the casting have been revealed, which will surely be expected news, since the original film had stars such as Houston and Costner. What if Swift is the new star that inherits Houston’s role?
Released in 1992, “The bodyguard” tells the love story between Frank Farmer (Costner), a former secret and skilled service agent, and the superstar Rachel Marron (Houston), threatened by an unknown fan. A real success, because the film raised 400 million dollars at the world box office, as well as universally recognized thanks, first of all, the iconic song and interpretation of “I Will Always Love You”.
