Nothing In This World (Bodyguard 1992)

by Corey Gould

It's a retelling of 1992's Bodyguard, with a dystopian component added. Many scenes from the film are recognizable, but are processed in a new way. A few serious changes are made in the story, so the location of the action. More details on the changes can be found in the first text attached. The threat to Rachel is increased. Frank gets a new character.

1. Note

« Note / A cautious explanation of the attempt to rewrite Bodyguard 1992. » The story is based on The Bodyguard (1992) and is therefore labeled fanfiction. I'm editing the screenplay here (including scenes not in the movie) and have no rights to it, including the original characters. I only own the authorship rights to the parts of the story that I added. The scenes I include here are events that I have customized.

I'm not a native English speaker, but I want to improve my language skills while working on the story. But I'll do my best to be always intelligible. I'd be happy if there were improvements to correct me. I see the correct use of the article and the distinction between British and US English as the main problem. I'm also generally interested in style, creative writing, and suggestions in all areas, including supplementary scenes.

I am taking different approaches and am unsure of the effect on the reader, so I am willing to make changes. Another problem I see is my tendency to long and convoluted sentences. Here, too, I am grateful for improvements in terms of easier readability.

Another problem I see is my tendency to convoluted sentences. Here, too, I am grateful for improvements in terms of easier readability. As for the threat to Rachel Marron, it has expanded. The scene shifted to the UK. Of course, the background could also be in the US. Even though I'm moving the action to Great Britain, the inspiration is more likely to be found in the political situation in Germany.

Three characters are changed:

1. Fletcher Marron becomes Ashley Marron because I can more easily handle a girl.

2. Nicki Marron is expanded to the more powerful persona Nicki Soleì. Rachel's sister, who's married to an influential French industrialist, but with whom she doesn't get along well.

3. Frank Farmer - surprise! He is not a bodyguard. Frank compares himself to Rachel, more like an assassin. He is a commando officer in the SRR (Special Reconnaissance Regiment), and this is how he describes Rachel to simplify his military duties.

I'll add numbering at the appropriate place in the text when I want to note explanations or doubts about the course of the story. Please consider this a starting point for discussion.

It would be nice if people could already reply to this text that they understand my English. That's how I know I can carry on or not.
