The 1992 film The Bodyguard will reportedly have its remake in the works alongside other remakes of films, according to Warner Bros., so 90s babies, we are sooooo back in the game! (via X/@PopBase)
Fans' hilarious reactions to The Bodyguard remake
Because the 1992 smash hit will reportedly have its remake, fans poked fun at the announcement, saying that making remakes should be illegal since it tarnishes the original film's legacy!
"Lets start a petition to make remakes illegal" - a fan said (via X/@KeshanNaidoo3)
Fans also trolled the "possible" remake of the Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner film, joking that no one can top the two lead actors' acting in the said film. (via X/@eternalcumslimz)
Other fans also joked that the soundtrack of the remake of The Bodyguard will be loads of fun and unseriousness—especially with this generation's artists covering Houston's hit song from the film, "I Will Always Love You." (via X/@melayelamedia)
Some fans also LOLed at the possible film's remake, asking the Warner Bros. execs if they had lost their minds when they thought that they could create a new version of the 1992 film!
"You can’t just remake THE Bodyguard and think it’s gonna work, right?" - another fan added (via X/@szaseiji)
Fans also requested that the Warner Bros. execs, for the love of God, stop doing remakes and try to create original content for once!
"Not everything needs a remake!! Stop being LAZY and come up with your own story" - another fan replied (via X/@MangSheaButter)
X users also hilariously pointed out that sure, there will be a remake of The Bodyguard, but can the actress that will play Rachel Marron give justice to their soundtrack, given that Whitney Houston OWNED the soundtrack of the film?
"There’s no one on this planet who can give whitney’s songs on the soundtrack justice I fear. . ." - an X user remarked (via X/@positionsmafiaa)
Other X users also suggested that if Warner Bros. will 100% do the remake of the film, they can only think of one person in mind to play Rachel Marron—Jennifer Hudson! (via X/@bigtiamnot)
Some X users also clowned the possible remake of the film, commenting that they would rather watch the OG film than watch the remake.
"I'd rather watch the OG “The Bodyguard” on repeat than the remake." - another X user commented (via X/@TayoPSG)
And finally, X users roasted the Warner Bros. execs by hilariously suggesting that it should be Rihanna and Timothée Chalamet who push through with the remake.
"Gonna be Rihanna and timothee chalamet" - another X user shared (via X/@BigMindBe)
Why do Warner Bros. announced The Bodyguard remake?
It seems like Warner Bros. is tapping the nostalgia and childhood memories of the 80s and 90s kids because, aside from The Bodyguard, they also announced that The Matrix 5, Beetlejuice 3, The Goonies sequel, The Gremlins sequel, Oceans Eleven prequel, and The Hunt for Gollum are also in the works.
Although the 1992 iconic film's remake is still announced, there is no news yet about its casting, but one thing's for sure—whoever will be the lead actress will feel so much pressure—especially because Whitney Houston's characterization of Rachel Marron was iconic, legendary, and one for the pop culture books!
