Amidst the ongoing turmoil of Kevin Costner’s messy divorce with Christine Baumgartner, the renowned actor finds solace in his work.
Reports from insider sources suggest that Costner is fully immersed in pitching a sequel to his iconic 1992 movie, The Bodyguard, and it seems that Megan is eager to be a part of it.
Not only did Costner play a pivotal role as the character Frank Farmer in The Bodyguard, but he also took on the role of a producer for the film.
The collaboration between Costner and Whitney Houston, who portrayed the lead female role of Rachel, resulted in a timeless bond and the creation of one of the world’s greatest hit songs.
In a bid to revive the box office success of the past, Warner Brothers has officially given the green light for the remake of The Bodyguard.
Kevin, at 68, is reportedly engaged in numerous meetings with industry executives as he delves into this new project.
Megan, seemingly relentless in her pursuit, is pressuring Costner’s team to arrange a meeting in New York to persuade him to cast her in the film.
This endeavor holds strong ties to Princess Diana, whom Kevin had envisioned for a sequel before her untimely demise in 1997 halted the production plans.
Despite Megan’s previous aversion to returning to the silver screen, sources indicate that she is under immense pressure to deliver a commercially viable project to Netflix, with The Bodyguard 2 being a potential candidate.
With Costner facing a substantial divorce settlement, a successful project could serve as a financial lifeline for him.
An exclusive source reveals that while Megan continues to strive for a role in the film, Costner remains steadfast in his decision.
Since late 2021, Megan has actively sought opportunities to re-enter the entertainment industry, including appealing to industry figures like Bob Iger and Tyler Perry, albeit without success.
The landscape of streaming services is evolving, marked by slower growth and increased uncertainty.
Both Netflix and other platforms have made strategic cancellations to streamline costs, with reports suggesting disappointment over the lack of productivity from the Sussexes.
Andrew Morton, a historian specializing in the British royal family, remarks on the challenges faced by Archibald Productions, noting a perceived lack of leadership and execution in their projects.
Despite promising concepts, the execution often falls short, reflecting a common pattern within the industry.
