Tyra Banks has recently proposed that Taylor Swift should star in the upcoming remake of the 1992 romantic thriller "The Bodyguard", originally led by Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
Banks believes Swift’s global stardom and presence make her a fitting successor for the iconic role.
She also suggested Idris Elba as the ideal choice for the bodyguard role, envisioning a modern dynamic by flipping the original racial casting.
The remake is set to be directed by Sam Wrench, known for directing Swift's 2023 concert movie The Eras Tour.
Jonathan Abrams, who penned Juror No. 2, is writing the script for the Warner Bros. project.
Swift and Elba previously shared the screen in the 2019 adaptation of Cats.
While casting details have not been confirmed, Banks' suggestions have sparked excitement among fans.
The original The Bodyguard was a box-office success, earning $411 million worldwide and featuring Houston's iconic rendition of "I Will Always Love You."
With Wrench at the helm and potential casting of Swift and Elba, the remake aims to honor the legacy of the original while bringing a fresh perspective to the story.
