Jessica Simpson for Bodyguard 2!

Hot on the heels of John’s seriously tough review of Jessica Simpsons performance in Dukes of Hazzard, here’s news that Kevin Costner wants her for the next Bodyguard movie! From MovieWeb:

“Ideally, it would be great to get someone like Jessica Simpson on board to take the story to the next level”, he told OK! Magazine.

With a script that he wrote already completed the chances of this movie getting made look pretty good. Who will play the woman he “bodyguards” is still up in the air. At one point, the late Princess Diana was being talked about for the role.

In the original sequel script, Costner’s character was watching over a woman named Julia (who it was suspected Princess Diana might’ve played) who was working in Hong Kong trying for the release of political prisoners. In the course of protecting Julia, the two characters fell in love.

Eh? Princess Diana to Jessica Simpson…well I would have thought Diana was probably the better actress, but Simpson will “take it to the next level”? Well I guess if you’re looking down, not that the Bodyguard was that up anyway! Forget the casting, I can’t believe they’re going to do a second story about a womanising and fickle bodyguard who’s going to fall in love with every female he is signed on to protect!

  1. I’d rather see Jessica Simpson play Harley Quinn in “Batman Begins II”. Harley is supposed to be an obnoxious, annoying, irratating sexbomb. A role tailor made for Jess ! I like the idea of Billy Bob Thornton as Joker, and Ashton Kutcher as Harvey Dent. My big hope is David Goyer is replaced as scriptwriter with Kevin Smith (“Clerks”) or Miles Millar & Alfred Gough (“Smallville”).

  2. Someone need to stop enouraging Costner to act, give interviews and to come up with “movie ideas.” I would be happy if he was a silent meathead like Vin Deisel who showed up and did his work, then went right back into obscurity till the next indy role came along. The only movie I liked him in was A Perfect World. Why can’t he pick more roles like that?

  3. First of all, Bodygaurd was an excellent flick in my opinion, but I would not want to see a sequel. Let alone one with Jessica Simpson as the lady the bodygaurd protects, i mean, could you really take her seriously?
