Rihanna to Star in ‘Bodyguard’ Remake
The world’s most infamous assault victim of the times, singer Rihanna, is rumoured to be snagging herself a sexy young bodyguard… in the form of Step Up actor Channing Tatum.
No, Channing isn’t going to be protecting the pop star from boyfriend Chris Brown’s fists, but if the stories are correct, he will be starring alongside the Umbrella singer in a remake of Whitney Houston’s 1992 hit, The Bodyguard.
Sources say that Rihanna’s recent impromptu trip to New York was all about securing her spot as the lead actress in the film, which has been described as a “young and sexy take” on the original.
An inside revealed: “Before the situation with Chris, [Rihanna] was getting a lot of scripts. She’s been wanting to do movies for a while now.”
As well as the Bodyguard remake, Rihanna is also said to be considering roles in the upcoming Charlie’s Angels sequel, and an unnamed Justin Timberlake project. Reps of the singer, however, have denied any involvement in the films.
