Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” Director to Helm Remake of “The Bodyguard”: Report

The director of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Sam Wrench, reportedly has his eyes on another pop star project.

The 34-year-old Grammy-nominated and Emmy award-winning director, who gave Swifties the 2023 concert tour documentary, will be working with Warner Bros. to remake 1992’s The Bodyguard, Deadline reported on Friday, April 11. The Hollywood Reporter and Variety also reported the news.

Warner Bros. Pictures co-chairman and CEOs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy first shared the news with Deadline.

The original film went on to earn $411 million worldwide at the box office. It was directed by Mick Jackson and written by Lawrence Kasdan.

Much of The Bodyguard’s success was due to its best-selling soundtrack, which featured Houston’s recording of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” and other songs by the late R&B star. Two songs, “I Have Nothing” and “Run to You,” were nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar.

Earlier this year, Costner paid tribute to his costar in an Instagram post marking his 70th birthday.
