The romantic thriller originally starred Kevin Costner, 70, as Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent turned professional bodyguard, who is hired to protect Rachel Marron (Houston), a famous singer and actress, from an unknown stalker

So no chance of a guy playing the female singer?

Hollyweird hasn't had an original idea in the past 40 years.

Oh for the love of all that is sacred STOP THE INSANITY!!
The vast majority of remakes are at best poor shadows of the originals.. at worst utter embarrassments that hand around the cast's necks like the proverbial albatross for decades. I would be too ashamed to try and mimic another (far superior, I mean Whitney vs Taylor... oh please, NO comparison) artist's talent, grace, and style.
This trend needs to die, now!!

There are tens of thousands of books in libraries. Wonder if anyone has told movie producers so they can get a new idea. And who is going to go see Swift in a movie? Yuk.

The stalker will be played by Mr. Bigglesworth.

And let me guess - Travis will play the bodyguard. As for remakes (of any sort), the only decent one was Devo's new-wave update of 'Satisfaction'.

Swift is certainly pretty enough and, yes, she can sing - but she's not even in the same league as Whitney. That reality aside, there are so many 'swiftees' worldwide that it will be a mega-hit financially.

I wonder who they will get to do the singing part. Taylor Swift can't sing her way out of a paper bag.

Didn’t she move to Canada to get away from our government? Hope so!

Micky Mouse could sing "I Will Always Love You" better than Swift.

They're going to make Taylor Swift into the bodyguard for Christian Bale and it will be a musical where most of the screen time is TS singing about her exes.

Will all of the suspects in the movie be Swift's ex boyfriends that she wrote song about?

Like Disney, they know how to guarantee a flop and this one has one hundred percent chance of achieving that goal.

Isn't this "cultural misappropriation" by Swift? Houston was black; Swift not so much. And Swift can't sing, either -- not like the divinely gifted Houston. For Hollywood to do this rehash movie justice, they'd have to cast someone like Michael B. Jordan (best known recently for his role as Apollo Creed's son who also became a boxer) as Farmer. Unlike Swift, who will not do Houston's role justice, Jordan could pull of the role played by Costner.

This will be huge at the box office simply because Swift will be in it which is why they decided to remake the film. Hollywood needs a big hit. They haven't had one since Tom Cruise did the TOP GUN sequel. The movie industry has run out of ideas for movies that will attract movie goers. So, picking Swift to do a remake makes sense after her successful Eros tour. Every Swifty will flock to the movie theater many more than once.

Swift cannot come with a a country mile of Houston's vocal range and uplifting of her songs. But hey, if you want to embarrass yourself, go for it.

Duchess Megs was angling for the role; in her deluded mind she felt she was perfect for it.
