Kevin Costner Considers “The Bodyguard” Sequel
Actor Kevin Costner has raised hopes for a sequel to his 1992 film “The Bodyguard” after admitting he would love to reprise his role as the former Secret Service agent.
Costner, who starred as bodyguard Frank Farmer opposite Whitney Houston’s character Rachel Marron in the hit movie, has never made a sequel to any of his films, but he reveals he already has a plot idea in mind should studio bosses change their minds.
He said:
“Bodyguard could have had one (a sequel). No (Marron and Farmer wouldn’t reunite), I think he was true to his word; he didn’t want to guard celebrities anymore.”
‘Swing Vote’ Trailer, Poster and Movie Stills
Kevin Costner stars in drama/comedy ‘Swing Vote‘ from director Joshua Michael Stern, from his own script.
Costner stars as Bud Johnson, an apathetic, beer slinging, drunk lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by, except for the one bright spot in his mundane existence, his precocious, over achieving twelve-year old daughter, Molly.
She takes care of them both, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the presidential election coming down to one vote, her dads.
Bud Johnson, the nobody, becomes the voice for everybody when the world realizes that his vote will be the one that elects the next president. Politicians invade the small town of Texico, New Mexico and its unwitting inhabitants, waging war for Bud’s vote.
Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez, Nathan Lane and Paula Patton co-star.
