'The Bodyguard' movie gets a Hollywood remake

LOS ANGELES - "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 Wednesday that a reimagining of the romantic thriller is in development with a script penned by American playwright Matthew Lopez.

Lopez is the playwright behind the award-winning "The Inheritance," a two-part drama about gay men in New York a generation after the 1980s AIDS epidemic, that opened on Broadway in 2019.
