The Bodyguard

"The Bodyguard," the 1992 movie that launched the acting career of the late Whitney Houston and featured her most famous song, is getting a reboot.

Hollywood movie studio Warner Bros said on Sept. 15 that a reimagining of the romantic thriller is in development with a script penned by American playwright Matthew Lopez.

For the third consecutive weekend "The Hitman's Bodyguard" was the top film in North American box offices, but the cinematic scene remained deep in the summer doldrums, website Exhibitor Relations reported on Sept. 3.
