Rihanna is to star in a remake of 'The Bodyguard'.
The 21-year-old pop star - whose boyfriend Chris Brown has been charged with felony assault and making criminal threats following his alleged assault on her - has reportedly been looking at various scripts in New York, including a remake of the hit 90s film which starred Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Before the situation with Chris, Rihanna was getting a lot of scripts. She has been wanting to do movies for a while now."
If the film goes ahead, Rihanna's character will be a "young and sexy take" on the pop star previously played by Whitney.
The Barbados-born beauty will star alongside 'GI Joe' actor Channing Tatum who will play her on-screen love interest.
Rihanna is also believed to be considering working on a 'Charlie's Angels' sequel and a film project with Justin Timberlake.
The 'Umbrella' singer is currently easing herself back into work following Chris' arrest.
