Kim Kardashian is reportedly in talks to star in the upcoming remake of the 1992 classic The Bodyguard, a role originally played by Whitney Houston.
Despite fan speculation that Taylor Swift would land the lead—especially with Eras Tour director Sam Wrench helming the project—sources say the script has been “specifically tailored” for Kim, and Warner Bros. is strongly backing her.
The news has surprised Swift fans, who believed she was the natural fit.
The original film was a massive hit, earning Oscar nominations and featuring the best-selling movie soundtrack of all time.
