Taylor Swift is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations to star in the upcoming remake of The Bodyguard. The role would see her take on the iconic character of Rachel Marron, originally played by Whitney Houston in the 1992 hit film.
According to The Daily Mail, Warner Bros. and Swift are nearing a deal after extensive discussions. These talks have covered various aspects of the film, including the music Swift will contribute, the merchandise plans, and the casting of her love interest.
Fans have speculated about Swift’s involvement since it was announced that Sam Wrench, the director behind Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, would helm the remake. Jonathan Abrams, who wrote the script for Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2, has been tapped to pen the screenplay for the project.
The original The Bodyguard featured the best-selling soundtrack of all time, including Houston’s unforgettable “I Will Always Love You.” The film also marked the beginning of a lasting friendship between Houston and co-star Kevin Costner, who later delivered a heartfelt tribute at her funeral in 2012.
