According to Deadline, the studio hopes to recapture some of the massive success of the original film, which earned $411 million at the global box office and scored two Oscar nominations.

The original story follows Frank Farmer (Costner), a former Secret Service agent hired to protect R&B superstar Rachel Marron (Houston) during the peak of her fame. As a dangerous stalker threatens Rachel’s life, a dramatic love story unfolds—culminating in an unforgettable, emotional climax at the Academy Awards.
