The Bodyguard

Kevin Costner knows what works for him and he’s going back there.

Following duds like last year’s Swing Vote (we still have nightmares about that torture), Costner is in talks to produce a new TV mini-series about the Wild West in post-Civil War America.

The Oscar-winning history buff plans to direct and star in the series, which will study settlement in the western United States.

You know, around the same time some of the best films of his career was set.

No, not The Bodyguard or Field of Dreams (our personal favorite).

And iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…

For the first time in a long time, this is a remake we’d love to see.

Which probably means it won’t happen.

Rihanna is reportedly taking meetings this week about a proposed remake of 1992’s classic tale of love, obsession, duty and music; The Bodyguard.

Word on the street is Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon are getting ready to dust off their Louisville sluggers, oil those mitts and step back up to the plate.

A sequel of their 1988 hit Bull Durham is reportedly in the works.

No!

This smacks of Blues Brothers 2000. Why tarnish the memory of something great but trying to recreate the magic it had the first time around? It never works!

Kevin Costner is following in Jessica Simpson’s footsteps and releasing a country music album.
