Top review. The best bad movie ever. The Bodyguard is a movie with many flows and one redeeming factor: the WH factor. People went to see this picture because they wanted to see Whitney singing and she delivered some of her most passionate vocal performances before the mesmerised eyes of her millions of fans on the big screen. Let's face it, who wants to see her acting when she can sing so beautifully? The unrelenting criticism by couch 'drama experts' of her acting seems a tad over the top.
She never claimed to be an actress and despite this being her film debut, she did not disgrace herself. She did the best she could with what she was given: a patchy character with very little to say. But he quickly realised that no one else could play the character Rachel, and was willing to wait a year for Whitney to accept the role: "I just thought she was that right.
Costner had to convince Whitney to take the role. By then, Whitney was having a great pop career, and was considering acting too. However, she wanted to start with smaller roles, telling Rolling Stone : "I never thought I'd be co-starring with Kevin Costner!
Aware of the scrutiny she would get as a popstar becoming a Hollywood star, much like Madonna, she worried that "people would dog me before they gave me the opportunity to do the job. She delayed accepting the role until Costner called her himself. He promised her that he wouldn't let her make a fool of herself, and she agreed.
However, he also told her not to get acting lessons. I will help you,'" she said. Kevin gave a beautiful tribute to Whitney at her funeral. He shared various anecdotes about the singer in his minute speech. You sang the whole damn song without a band. You made the picture what it was. You weren't just pretty, you were as beautiful as a woman could be. Whitney Houston suffered a miscarriage during production and missed a couple of weeks of production recovering.
Whitney Houston would give Kevin Costner singing lessons on set in exchange for acting advice. Kevin Costner and Mick Jackson discouraged Whitney Houston from taking acting lessons -- they wanted her to be natural. This was Whitney Houston's first movie role. Kevin Costner was one of the movie's producers. He campaigned to have Houston play Rachel. He even went as far as to get McQueen's trademark haircut for the role. As of , with over 37 million albums sold, the film had the best-selling soundtrack of all time.
Whitney Houston said Kevin Costner taught her to focus on listening and communicating through her eyes. In an interview on the Graham Norton show, she said that when they asked to use the song for the movie, she sent it in and forgot about it. Then one day she was driving from her office to her house in Nashville when she heard Whitney Houston's version on the radio. She had to pull over to the side of the road in order to finish listening to it, because she was blown away by how beautifully the song was done, and by how beautifully Whitney Houston sang it.
Kevin Costner revealed in , almost 27 years after the release of The Bodyguard , that the woman he is carrying on the movie poster wasn't Whitney Houston, but her double. Whitney had left the set to have some rest, so Kevin Costner decided to shoot the picture with her double. He only told her to keep her face hidden, so she could show the fear that the character was experiencing. Costner himself picked the definitive photo that was later used in the movie poster.
This film was originally proposed in the mid-'70s, starring Diana Ross and Steve McQueen, but was rejected as "too controversial". The film concept was to be attempted again in the late s, with Ryan O'Neal and Diana Ross cast as the leads.
The project fell through after only a few months because of irreconcilable differences between O'Neal and Ross, who had been dating.
Kevin Costner, who was also producer on the film, reportedly denied Madonna an audition because she had made a gag joke at his expense in Madonna: Truth or Dare Crew driver Bill Vitagliano was killed in an on-set accident when he was crushed between two colliding scissor-lifts, during the preparation for an underground parking garage scene. This film was pitched and rejected 67 times. This may be why the fictional Academy Awards ceremony depicted is the 67th, which in reality did not occur until , honoring the films of During the airport scene, where the camera revolves around actors Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston, the centrifugal force was so extreme that the camera operator fell off.
He climbed back on while the camera kept filming, finished the scene, and that was the take was used in the movie. The film had to undergo some hasty re-cutting when test audiences jeered Whitney Houston's performance. As the script went through revisions, Mick Jackson said it got "darker and more violent.
Costner told Houston a story about getting caught sneaking grape juice from the communion glasses.
