Kevin Costner is opening up about the sequel to "The Bodyguard" that never was, claiming it was set to star Princess Diana.
The Academy Award winner spoke about the film, which would have been a follow-up to the hit 1992 original starring Costner and Whitney Houston, during a recent episode of "The Howard Stern Show."Costner said it was Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, who put them in touch."I said, 'Look, I'm going to do 'Bodyguard 2' and I think I can build this around you. Would you be interested?'" he recalled telling Diana. "And she said … she goes, 'Yes.
Costner claimed the conversation took place around 1996, when Diana was on the brink of an official divorce from then-Prince Charles, and that she told him she was ready to try something new.See the new trailer for ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ "She goes, 'My life's about to change,'" he recalled. "She said, 'Is there going to be a kissing scene?' And I said, 'Do you want there to be one?' And she said, 'Yeah.' And I said, 'Then we'll do that.'"
Before production on the movie could begin, Diana died in a car crash on Aug. 31, 1997, at the age of 36, while fleeing the paparazzi in Paris."It leaked out that I had been prepping 'Bodyguard 2' with her," he said.
