Leighton Meester And Jared Padalecki Are In Talks To Star In Netflix’s Untitled Bodyguard Movie

Leighton Meester and Jared Padalecki are in talks to join Netflix’s untitled bodyguard romance movie, sources tell Nexus Point News.

The film will be an adaptation of Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard. Meester will star as a bodyguard assigned to protect a famous movie star, played by Padalecki. To maintain his cover, she must pose as his girlfriend while spending the holidays at his family’s ranch in Montana — where chaos inevitably ensues.

The details of the project are currently under wraps. The project is set to begin filming this December in Calgary, Alberta.

Leighton Meester is best known for her iconic role as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. She recently appeared in Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers and will next be seen in the second season of Nobody Wants This, which stars her husband Adam Brody alongside Gossip Girl co-star Kristen Bell. She repped by UTA and The Lede Company.

Padalecki rose to fame as Sam Winchester in the long-running hit Supernatural. He is set to appear in the final season of The Boys, reuniting with his former co-star Jensen Ackles. Padalecki is repped by UTA and Industry Entertainment.
