According to Deadline, Warner Bros. has commissioned screenwriters Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer to script an updated remake of 1992′s critically-panned commercial hit The Bodyguard.
A tentative synopsis:
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.
Deadline says “The goal is to take a young female singer with global appeal and give her the platform that The Bodyguard did Houston.”
Five words: “The Bodyguard starring Katy Perry.” Hollywood: Over.
