Warner Bros. is developing a remake of 'The Bodyguard' with Sam Wrench on board to direct.
Wrench directed the box office smash 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.' Jonathan Abrams, who debuted as a feature screenwriter with Clint Eastwood's courtroom drama 'Juror #2' last fall, has been tapped to pen the script.
No casting decisions have been set. The news was revealed by Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, the co-heads of the Warner Bros. Pictures Group, in an interview with Deadline.
Aside from directing 'The Eras Tour,' Wrench has oft toed the line between the film and music industries, helming 'Laufey's A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl' and 'A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter,' as well as concert docs for stars like BTS, Billie Eilish and Lizzo.
The original 'The Bodyguard' was directed by Mick Jackson and centered on a former Secret Service agent, portrayed by Kevin Costner, hired to protect a famous singer, played by Whitney Houston.
It grossed more than $400 million at the worldwide box office and has what is considered the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time, with several chart-topping original songs from Houston.
'The Bodyguard'
landed
two Oscar nominations for its songs, 'I Have Nothing' and 'Run to You.'
Wrench spoke with Variety about his style and using long takes during 'Laufey's A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl,' saying, 'I don't think the job of a concert filmmaker is there to try and portray something that didn't happen or to give it an energy that isn't there. When the music is the king, the music is the thing you follow and you let that kind of dictate everything. But honestly, my job was fairly easy. It's such a great concert. Everyone enjoyed it. We pointed some cameras, and here we are.'

Etiquettes of Visiting Relatives and Friends during Eid al-Adha
Pasant Elzaitony - Yara Sameh Happy Eid! The first day of Eid al-Adha is here. The holiday always brings a sense of hope, peace, joy, and love. One of the most important aspects of Eid is family and friend gatherings, whether at home or at gathering places such as clubs or parks. There are some rules of etiquette everybody must adhere to during Eid outings and gatherings: • You should always schedule a visit before paying a visit to someone, as each person has their own circumstances that must be taken into account. • After a wedding, couples often visit family homes, you should discuss with the head of the household the kind of gift you should bring and whether it is preferable to bring fruit or a dessert. • If invited to dinner or supper, you should provide a helping hand by setting the table before and after the meal to ensure the hostess isn't overburdened. • If the family gathering will include children and teenagers and you are an uncle or paternal uncle, prepare a generous amount of money, even if it's a small amount. This will make the children very happy. Ensure the amounts of the cash gifting are equal so that no one feels left out. • To ensure the hostess isn't overburdened, leave the house as you entered it, clean and tidy. • Engage in conversation with the present, and use this time as a break from technology and cell phones. During the hours of your presence, leave your cell phone on silent to reflect the importance of this gathering to you. • Make sure to engage in positive conversations avoid touching on useless topics and focus on family-related issues. • Don't engage in side conversations and talk about topics that interest the attendees.

Amal Maher to Collab with Mohamed Mohamady for First Time on New Song
Yara Sameh Egyptian superstar, Amal Maher is working on a new song called "Law Lena Omr". It is by the lyrics of Nader Abd Allah and composed by Mohamed Mohamady. "Law Lena Omr" marks the first collaboration between Maher and Mohamady. It also witnesses the superstar's first music in 2025 and comes after a period of absence from the music scene. Born on February 19, 1985, Maher began singing as a child by presenting songs by iconic singer Umm Kulthum.

The acclaimed singer soon met composer Mohamed Diae, whom she eventually married and became the father of her son, Omar. She filed for divorce a year later.
