In a bit of a ‘WTF’ kind of news, Paramount Pictures is looking to reboot Baywatch for the big screen, and they’re looking at The Rock to star in it. The action star is reportedly loosely attached to the project, which will be helmed by Horrible Bosses 2 directors, Sean Anders and John Morris.
However, this news should be taken with a bit of salt for the time being, since the Baywatch project has been rumoured for quite some time. Furthermore, it seems a bit ludicrous at this point of time for Johnson to star in this project, seeing that he has already been linked to several other films like Shazam! and The Janson Directive as well.
The Baywatch reboot has been hinted for some time, but it seems that Paramount is finally pulling the trigger on it. As far as plotlines for the story, nothing has been revealed as yet, except of course it will involve lifeguards and quite possibly, a bit of slow-motion running.
Would it be wrong to hope for a David Haselhoff cameo for this one?
