The bodyguard is a classic and the soundtrack. I love Whitney.
But as a Latina I’m excited nonetheless. I hope it’ll be good. I know Lsa will be in shambles.
& FYI Debbie Allen played Anita (a role meant for a Latina) in West side story before anyone says anything

You’ve been hired to write a remake of “The Bodyguard.” How are you approaching the project?
It’s so much fun. When Warner Bros. approached me about the idea, I quickly said I would but I wanted the protagonist to be Latina. They agreed to that. There’s been a lot of speculation about what I’d bring to the remake and some people were assuming that there’d be a gay storyline to it. Instead of focusing on an established star like the one Whitney Houston played, this is about a young Latina performer who has just become famous. It’s about how her life has changed because she is an overnight sensation. In the 21st century, that means she’s in immediate need of protection. It was important to me to use this opportunity to get Latin faces up on that screen and to get their stories told in a big way.

Well her son committed suicide over the summer.This trifling airhead.dismissed a bw who spoke about the discrimination against Afro-Latinos while her non-acting behind was in the predominately black show Being Mary Jane.
It's always very telling when these people refer to Latinos as if they are separate from black people. As if there aren't millions of Afro Latinos living around the world right now. But we know that's not the type of latina he wants to cast for this role
Wow. Aint that a shame.Well her son committed suicide over the summer.
She's not doing so well.
so you dont know what the neoliberal agenda is in media?
who’s that in your avi?do you know what neoliberal means? or are you just throwing around buzzwords?
The chemistry between Kostner and Houston and then the VOICE of Houston is what made this movie a classic. They need to stop comparing it to the original to try and use Whitney to sell this movie. Compare it to In the Heights since you want it about the Latino experience.
Funny you mention a star is born. They kept those characters white af . The mention of a black actress or actor is shot down but they’ll do it to our movies.Um so he’s making the bodyguard into a Latina A Star Is Born? I was already not interested but now I’m just plain annoyed. All original thought left Hollywood years ago it seems.

Why not re-make Westside Story??? That would make more sense.
Unfortunately I do have to remember this casting might be low-key about the erasure of Black women, which is so damn obvious.

These movies about Latinos always flop. White people ain't enamored with Latinos like that.
Who are they gonna get to play it? JLO? LMFAOOOOView attachment 2942579

They already did West Side Story.
fµck their racism.Christina Milian talked about how they refused to cast her for latina roles. She even changed her acting name to Milian from Flores just to start getting roles for BW. And she's a mixed latina. But they are racist af.
Well lack of content. This days movies suck. Woke culture ,forced inclusivity , woke everything and bad writing.My response to basically all movie remakes is..."why?"
Also, if they do this I hope they also include a whole new soundtrack...I don't want to hear 'ner 'nother person sing ""I Willl Always Love You".
So why call it a remake? There are tons of movies that were technically remakes but didn't try to market off of the name of the original...
I like Zazie Beetz but WHAT.As a person who is half Afro Latina, I (dis)respectfully disagree with you. The erasure of black women in Hollywood is blatant and gross. There was a thread in here this week about Zazie Beetz playing Stagecoach Mary and I can honestly say that’s some bs. This is not okay. If you can’t relate to black women and their frustrations, you should take your excitement to a Latino forum.
Hilarious!1. Black Americans are the #1 most consistent moviegoers in the USA. (Not that more of us go numerically but that we are more loyal and go to more movies more often.)
2. There have been studies conducted proving that despite our long and problematic history, white Americans relate more to Black and mixed Americans than they do to Latinos. We have more of a shared "American culture" with music, fashion, sports or whatever. IDK. But most whites ain't fµck!n with latinos like that.
One study stated in America, when asked about 'races' outside of their own:
Asians relate most to whites. Whites relate most to black people. Blacks relate most to Latinos (hispanics). Latinos relate most to whites. Native Americans hated errbody else lol

If this is true Im disappointed in her. Have the girls learned nothing from Zoe Saldana?
Unless it’s a Black Latina (which we know it won’t be), they need to get the fµck away from this movie & Whitney’s legacy.
The Bodyguard is one of the most important pieces of her legacy & the fair representation of black women in film. Say what you want about the movie but it was a milestone as a big budget romance movie that didn’t degrade a black woman explicitly.
Oh please don't put that in the atmosphere.You can tell Hollywood has nothing to offer when they start making Wattpad movies and remakes .
Their clits are bursting for a Titanic remake .
Whitney gave him appeal he never had before and hasn't had since...this
she had kevin costnars ass looking desirable chile
whitneys MAGIC baby lmfaooo
Octavia Spencer would play tf out this role.I like Zazie Beetz but WHAT.
If this is true Im disappointed in her. Have the girls learned nothing from Zoe Saldana?
Yep I said its gonna be Camilla Cabello and I despise her so muchDefinitely. They're going to cast a white or light skin latina like J-Hoe or Camilla Cabello.
I hope the movie flops at the box office.View attachment 2942579
