The Rock Solves Crimes And Blows Things Up In New Baywatch Trailer
"One of you will probably die."
A new trailer for the upcoming big screen reboot of Baywatch has landed. The action-comedy stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron, and hits theaters in May. Check the new trailer out below:
Baywatch is directed by Horrible Bosses' Seth Gordon and also stars Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Priyanka Chopra, and Ilfenesh Hadera, with a cameo expected from David Hasselhoff, the star and producer of the original TV show. Last year, Johnson posted a picture of him and Hasselhoff on set together.
In a recent interview with EW, Gordon spoke about the way the new movie would reference the show."The history of the show is to showcase beauty," he said. "There's a beat where one of the characters sees someone running and asks, 'Is she running in slo-mo? And why is she wet but not that wet?' Stuff like that shows that we are in on the joke."
The original Baywatch ran from 1989 to 1999, with a spinoff, Baywatch Hawaii, airing until 2001. The main show was a huge international hit, and had clocked up a total of 242 episodes by the time it was cancelled.
Baywatch hits theaters on May 26, 2017. Check out the earlier trailers here and here.
