This second trailer for Sony’s Kasi Lemmons-directed Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” is almost entirely scored to Houston’s blockbuster cover of “I Will Always Love You.” That is a valid choice, especially as “The Bodyguard” turns 30 on Nov. 25.That Kevin Costner/Whitney Houston romantic thriller earned $121 million domestic (around $282 million when adjusted for inflation) and $411 million worldwide in 1992/1993.
That made it the third-biggest R-rated global grosser ever behind “Pretty Woman” ($463 million in 1990) and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” ($519 million in 1991). So reminding audiences of the film for which “I Will Always Love You” was reappropriated makes sense.It’s also a curious choice considering the film is called “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” which is arguably polar opposite in terms of tempo and emotional impact.
It would be like, offhand, setting a trailer for a Michael Jackson biopic to “Ben” and then revealing the title to be “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.”This 153-second preview, sure to play this weekend before many theatrical showings of “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” emphasizes scale and packed stadium concerts, which makes the implicit case that at least part of the film will resemble seeing the late Houston in a concert. That’s not unlike what worked in late 2018 for Bryan Singer’s Rami Malek-starring Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The latter shares a screenwriter, Anthony McCarten, with “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” Online discourse notwithstanding, the controversial rock-and-roll biopic won four Oscars and grossed $905 million worldwide, a record then and now for a straight-up, action-free drama.
