Jordin Sparks Wants To Put Her ‘Name in the Hat’ For ‘Bodyguard’ Remake

Published: Wednesday 22nd Sep 2021 by Rashad

Whitney Houston fans were sent into an uproar last week when Warner Bros. took to press to announce they were moving forward with an official remake of the late diva’s breakout film, ‘The Bodyguard’ (1992).

One of the highest grossing films of all-time (with over $400 million collected at the box office), the movie’s popularity is only matched by that of its GRAMMY-winning companion album – which is listed as the best-selling soundtrack of all time.

Despite widespread disapproval of the reboot, including jeers from Houston’s ex-husband Bobby Brown (as we reported here), the search for its lead characters is on and a number of actresses are already vying for the lead role.

Surprisingly, among the interested is ‘American Idol’ alum Jordin Sparks.

As seen in the photo above, our friends at PopCrave recently took to Twitter to poll users about who they think could fill the shoes of Houston’s ‘Bodyguard’ character “Rachel Marron.”

Sparks – who starred opposite Whitney in the Pop icon’s last movie ‘Sparkle’ – entered the chat to indicate she’d like to be in the running for the role.

“I would like to put my name in the hat,” she said alongside a praying hands emoji.

At writing, the position is still up for grabs so we could very well see Jordin showing off her acting prowess in the film’s reboot.

Until we find out for sure, look below to hear the 31-year-old show off her vocal chops by performing the ‘Bodyguard’ soundtrack’s biggest hit – ‘I Will Always Love You.’

        Can you imagine how upset the production company of Cinderella must be seeing as the reviews were terrible, the soundtrack tanked, and it’s being panned on social media? What a disaster

    Lizzo?! Fûcking Lizzo! Lawd I can’t. This whole thing is a MESS!

  6. Naime September 22, 2021

    If the movie is somewhat good, Beyonce should do it. Rachel is supposed to be an established legend. Beyonce did great in Cadillac Records so it could be a good look.

    • What would Whitney do September 22, 2021

      Beyonce is the obvious choice no no no…not Beyonce

  7. marilyn monh-O-E (Da Real DIVA 👠) September 22, 2021

    Bye Jason’s ex💅🏿 She might had a strong start in 07 but no one remembers yo irreverent ass today 🤳🏻

    • Farrahs Luggage (8k Camila) September 22, 2021

      “No Air” is still keeping Jordin’s bank account nice and fluffy. You remain bothered and broke.

      • marilyn monh-O-E (Da Real DIVA 👠) September 22, 2021

        She ain’t getting a dime from no air unless someone is offering her to perform💅🏿 She didn’t write nor produced the song. Nice try, Ashy h o e 🤳🏻

    • DeanD September 22, 2021

      Battlefield is still my jam!

  8. What would Whitney do September 22, 2021

    The movie is about Kevin Costner. He is The bodyguard
    . And Bobby brown need to shut up he was very abusive to her. We was going to let him slide so shut the f** up

  9. What would Whitney do September 22, 2021

    Mary j Blige should be considered.

    Not HORIAH it would be a flop

  10. truthteller September 22, 2021

    Are Normanly fans seriously putting her name forward? I’ve come across some deluded fanbases, but this really is a new low. They’ll be suggesting she sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl next.

  11. Davon Fryar-Frazier September 22, 2021

    Ariana or miley with a man of color

  12. NAH September 22, 2021

    She doesn’t have what it takes. She’ll be unable to hold the audiences attention.

    Whitney was 28-years-old when she filmed The Bodyguard. She had only released THREE albums prior to the film’s release in 1992. It was only a seven year span between her debut album in 1985 and the film.

    It’s going to be Ariana Grande, or another mainstream pop star who actually sings.
