Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour director Sam Wrench is entering into a brand new highlight after helming essentially the most watched music movie on Disney+.
Warner Bros. has tapped the Emmy-winning director to helm a remake of the 1992 romantic thriller The Bodyguard, initially starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
Warner Bros. Photos co-chairman and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy confirmed to Deadline that the director, who thrilled swifties with the 2023 live performance documentary, will reimagine the enduring ilm for a brand new era.
The Bodyguard follows Frank Farmer (Costner), a former secret service agent employed to guard international pop sensation Rachel Marron (Houston) from a harmful stalker.
The skilled relationship between the 2 characters finally blossoms right into a passionate romance.
Whereas casting particulars for the remake have been saved beneath wraps, the screenplay is written by Jonathan A. Abrams, greatest identified for Juror No. 2.
The Grammy-nominated director has been booked for the upcoming challenge after proving himself with Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Model).
The film, which hit streaming providers in March 2024, captured Swift throughout her The Eras Tour sequence of concert events at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in August 2023.
Past his collaboration with the Merciless Summer season singer, Wrench’s spectacular directing portfolio consists of Billie Eilish: Dwell on the O2 and Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration.
