BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

The Bodyguard Reboot Is On The Way

And IIIII Will Aways Loooove Youuuuuu, Yes Warner Bros is rebooting its 1992 hit The Bodyguard , the film that paired Kevin Costner with Whitney Houston and became for its time one of the biggest global hits in studio history with a $411 million worldwide gross.
