5 Actor Pairs Who Could Star in The Bodyguard Remake

The big movie news today is once again about a remake, and this time, it's the 1992 romance The Bodyguard that's being redone. Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner star in the original as a pop star and the man hired to protect her, who of course fall in love along the way. This new version will update the story by making the leading man a former Iraq war veteran whose first job back is this bodyguard gig, while producers are seeking a young female singer to play opposite him. Since no one has been cast as the leads yet, I thought I'd play casting agent matchmaker and tell you who I'd love to see together.

I think if they did do a remake it should be different in a sense that instead of a high profile singer being protected it could be a high profile actress. And definitely Matt Damon should be in the leading role because he has that presence like Kevin Costner did. As for the actress, I would go for Natalie Portman, she can act much better and the music should be 2nd priority.

Actually, if you decide to have a black bodyguard, how bout THE ROCK! lol

Tatum can't act! How about Hudson and her WWE husband David Otunga (as bodyguard) Why not a black bodyguard? lol

I think Anne Hathaway has both the acting chops and the voice to carry this off, but I agree that there is no need for this remake... I think it is sad with all those remakes.

To no.2... Diana Ross was approached for the role back in the end of the 70's with Ryan O'Neal as the leading man.

I love the idea of Jennifer Hudson in the starring role--but I imagine Katy Perry has some acting chops (or maybe I'm making that up in my head). For the Iraq war vet, I would definitely cast either Channing Tatum (so wonderful in "Dear John") or Jamie Foxx. He was amazing in "Jarhead," and I'm sure he could channel that inner soldier again.
