Rihanna was in New York over the weekend to have some meetings about a proposed remake of 1992’s Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick, “The Bodyguard.” The battered pop star would be taking on Whitney’s role in the new version, which according to an insider would be a “young and sexy take” on the romantic film. “GI Joe” hottie Channing Tatum’s name has been bandied about to take on Costner’s role. It’s funny, she needs a bodyguard in real life… and a teraphist too.
“Before the situation with Chris, Ri was getting a lot of scripts. She’s been wanting to do movies for a while now,” our insider reveals. In addition to a proposed “Bodyguard” remake, Rihanna is also considering working on a “Charlies Angels” sequel, as well as potentially starring alongside Justin Timberlake, with whom she released her hit single “Rehab.” Rihanna’s camp denied the songstress has taken any meetings with any directors, producers or production companies.
