I keep hearing people talking about Hugh Jackman collaborating with Miley Cyrus but I tried to ignore it assuming such a thing would happen only when the 9 planets in the solar system are all in alignment. But lo and behold, according to news.com it’s all true, Jackman has signed on to star with Miley in the tween version of THE BODYGUARD.
This re-imagining, if you will, will be directed by Matt Lieberman (Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief) and it’s going to be titled PERSONAL SECURITY, about a tough New York police detective forced into bodyguard duty for a spoiled teen heiress who has received a kidnap threat. Yup, you guessed it.. Miley will play the cop turned bodyguard and Jackman plays the teen heiress.. wait, I meant the other way around.
There may be Jackman carrying Miley like Costner carrying Whitney, I’m sure Miley will sing a sondtrack song but it won’t be as powerful as Whitney’s I Will Always Love You. And God forbid there’s romance between Jackman and Miley in this movie because that would be wrong in every level.
I guess the fact after two months, X-Men Origins: Wolverine only earned a disappointing $177 Million domestically would make Jackman do just about anything. I thought Hannah Montana: The Movie was catchy but I really hope for some miraculous intervention that this PERSONAL SECURITY movie goes straight to DVD because I don’t feel like paying ticket just to see it on the big screen.
