Hi endive is still Christine Bravo (naked) who speaks to you. I do not know if you heard of this heresy that is about to emerge, probably in the playwrights features Taylor Swift: a remake of The Bodyguard . Yeah, the film formed in 1992 the top of the career of Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner (two people I discovered the existence at that time) (I am part of that generation who spurned the careers of Whitney Houston in the 80 no) (although it is his most prolific).
Nan but what makes them?
...
Oh yeah, there's wheat to be done, sorry.
must say that The Bodyguard, Titanic until 1997 and , is the best selling soundtrack in history. It is also a real success at the box office, albeit in proportions that seem ridiculous today, now that a movie over a billion dollars in worldwide revenue each year, but anyway. And that ultimately, despite a plot just completely ridiculous, the successful marriage of two industries of entertainment that do not know when the crisis: the music and cinoche. Whitney Houston, America's sweetheart still overwhelmed by Mariah Carey and near the expiration date thirties, is THE diva of the early 90s, and Kevin Costner, who was then chained Dance with wolves, Robin Hood and JFK or THE popular actor, considered a sex symbol despite its flagrant pinch single expression. Those two could not be planted. Even with a film down by critics and featuring a mute bodyguard who falls for his client singer / actress so spoiled at the risk of harm to his job because of it ...
If one adds to this the soundtrack that reclaims a classic country music by Dolly Parton at the point of forgetting to do, and few sinegueules syrupy (and Grammy Award for album of the year in the key) (frankly, it often happens, today released several sinegueules a soundtrack?), we get one of pop's most emblematic objects of the 90's, stuck somewhere between romance and unbridled commercialism. It's beautiful.
Subsequently, Kevin Costner would gradually denigrate, marked in particular by hot iron Waterworld, while Whitney, after firmly at the helm until the turn of the 2000 (musically, at least), would go into drugs and sordid crimes (and NO, the comeback of 2009 is not successful, that's enough now). But The BodyGuard him, remained to posterity turnips flamboyant atmosphere of the movie / pop diva.
But a remake, really, is it really necessary?
Because hindsight, we all come to see, just as with Titanic, the runaway early, the thunderbolt public around this film was a bit exaggerated. Long ago that nobody assumes to have owned the VHS or, worse, have plastered the film poster in his room. The enthusiasm of many months during which the film has been riding on its success (thanks to sinegueules from the soundtrack), then gave way to a kind of cultural hangover: do we not come to pass six months to flatter a silly romantic-thriller single shampoo for overweight? Oh yes, well. M'enfin good, do not bother to type, eh, we know that true you vibrate the film in the first degree, a kind of pop slut.
This too-muchitude made The BodyGuard a souvenir cheesy a little ashamed that likes to put down, depressed evening when he returns to the cable. But certainly not a film that the remake would be necessary ... Whitney between contributing to the Oscars in the film, hoping it will materialize into reality (fortunately it was not), the required over-camp scenes and clumsy scriptwriting springs ( "I am harassed by a fan psychopath who wants to commune with me in a great outpouring of (his) and semen (my) blood: and if I isolate myself in a cabin in the woods in the middle of nowhere to be sure he me found in less than 24 hours come and kill me nothing happens? "), this film has not only matured: it is inherently bad, unsurpassable in its dimension queer and not wildly original in his script, and re-contextualize the story in our 2010s With our fashionitude and technologies, will not make it better.
The first rumors about the remake because that would indicate particular account of the historical-political (the bodyguard is a veteran of the war in Iraq) (really) and the influence of the web root (TMZ, Twitter, etc..), which now makes it even more the easy paparazzades and other harassment of fans (that was the subject of the film, as a reminder). Uh, yes, but frankly, who cares, right?
What is a new singer / actress, gender Taylor Swift, Brandy or (worse) Miley Cyrus may well bring it back to the canvas? If in addition it does not benefit from the aura of the soundtrack I Will Always Love You to save the movie in the public eye, what will he, if not a pale copy of a not that movie already Folichon it, which was quite sufficient in itself?
It's too bad. Waiting to see how this story will tweak, which comprise the cast (Paris Hilton Britney Spears? Lady Gaga?), How the story will be rebuilt ... But honestly, without being a good movie, The Bodyguard seems untouchable.
