Rihanna has shot down rumours she is in talks to remake Whitney Houston's 1992 classic The Bodyguard.

Reports surfaced on Monday alleging the Umbrella hitmaker was set to star in a modern day version of the hit romantic drama.

Rihanna has been keeping a low profile since an alleged fight with her boyfriend Chris Brown last month, but she was said to be planning to return to the public eye in style with a move to Hollywood.

A source said, "Before the situation with Chris, Ri was getting a lot of scripts. She's been wanting to do movies for a while now."

However, the R&B star's representative has dismissed the claims to MTV.com, insisting the singer is not fielding any movie offers.
