Described as a reimagining, The Bodyguard remake will once again be produced by the original film’s producer and writer Lawrence Kasdan for Kasdan Pictures, along with Dan Lin & Jonathan Eirich for Rideback.
1992’s The Bodyguard was directed by Mick Jackson, from a screenplay written by Lawrence Kasdan.
The studio has enlisted Tony nominee Matthew López (The Inheritance) to pen the screenplay for the long-in-development project.
It has been nearly 30 years since the theatrical release of Mick Jackson’s The Bodyguard, and now Variety brings word that Warner Bros. Pictures is currently developing a remake of the 1992 romantic drama thriller, which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
