Can you smell what the Rock is cooking ComicBookMovie.com?! I can and it smells like a new Baywatch film whether you want it or not! On this Friday Dwayne Johnson confirmed via tweet (which is pictured below) that he is involved with Paramount Studios attempt at bringing the cult classic Baywatch (1989 - 2001) on to the big screen. Last Thursday we heard rumblings that directors Sean Anders (Sex Drive (2008), That's My Boy (2012) Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)) and John Morris (Sex Drive (2008)) will be directing the project after Justin Malen (Bad Teacher 2 (2014)) finishes his rewrites on the script. This is not the first time that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has pulled a stunt like this, only a couple months ago one of his tweets furthered the rumors that he will be playing either Captain Marvel, I will never call him Shazam, or Black Adam. Also many other actors like Vin Diesel have been doing this reccently too.
Here is the picture and the transcript of the tweet that started all of these Baywatch rumors:
""This is my beach bitch!" Rumors are true... we're making #BAYWATCH the movie. Edgy, raunchy, and hopefully, funny as hell. Cue slo mo running on the beach... #WhoNeedsMouthtoMouth
#RedShortsBeHugginABrotha"
So what do you think ComicBookMovie.com? I for one hope they attempt to go the 21 or 22 Jump Street route with this film. Do any of you care? Are you interested in seeing those red bathing suits again? Let me know in the comments below!
