From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie The Bodyguard from 1992.
The Bodyguard is a 1992 American romantic thriller film directed by Mick Jackson, written by Lawrence Kasdan, and starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston (in her acting debut).
Costner stars as a former Secret Service agent-turned-bodyguard who is hired to protect a music superstar from an unknown stalker.
Kasdan wrote the film in the mid-1970s, originally as a vehicle for Steve McQueen and Diana Ross.
The Bodyguard was theatrically released on 25 November, 1992 by Warner Bros.
The film was a huge box office hit, grossing $411 million worldwide, becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 1992 and at the time of its release the tenth-highest-grossing film of all-time.
Despite the commercial success, it was almost panned by the critics who criticized its screenplay and performances of the lead actors.
The film's soundtrack garnered positive reviews and became the best-selling soundtrack album of all time, selling more than 45 million copies worldwide.
The soundtrack won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year whereas the singles "I Have Nothing" and "Run to You" received the nominations for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
