Kim Kardashian Reportedly Considered for The Bodyguard Remake
A remake of The Bodyguard is reportedly in the works, but recent casting rumors are causing quite a stir.
While early reports linked Taylor Swift to the lead role, new claims suggest Kim Kardashian might be taking center stage instead. Fans aren't convinced, and many are questioning whether this remake should happen at all.
Taylor Swift Was Initially Linked To The Project – But Few Believed It
Early reports had Taylor Swift attached to the upcoming The Bodyguard remake, with some sources suggesting she would not only star in the film but also contribute to the soundtrack. Directed by Eras Tour filmmaker Sam Wrench, the connection seemed plausible on paper, but many fans never fully bought into the idea. Taylor Swift, known for her songwriting and stage presence, has shown little interest in leading a major acting project, making the rumors feel more like speculation than a serious casting decision.
New Reports Focus on Kim Kardashian
Now, the focus has shifted to Kim Kardashian. According to the Mail on Sunday, the script has allegedly been rewritten specifically for her, and she’s already had multiple meetings with the studio behind the project. This sudden turn of events has stirred even more conversation online.
Strong Backlash from Fans and Critics — Nobody Wants A Remake
The reaction to Kardashian’s rumored involvement has been largely negative. Many argue that she lacks the vocal talent and acting depth needed to take on a role as iconic as Whitney Houston’s. On social media, users have pointed out that the original Bodyguard was driven not just by emotional performance, but by Houston’s legendary voice — a quality they feel Kim Kardashian simply doesn’t bring to the table.
The backlash isn’t limited to casting. Most people online are questioning why a remake is even necessary, saying the original film holds a timeless status and doesn’t need to be redone at all. People seem to be tired of remakes and reboots, but Hollywood won't listen.
No Official Confirmation Yet
As of now, no casting decisions have been officially confirmed. Whether the film moves forward with Kim Kardashian, or takes a different direction entirely, remains to be seen. It’s also unclear whether Taylor Swift was ever truly involved, or just a name floated during early development.
What do you think. Is this a bold casting move or a remake no one really asked for?
