QUANTICO Star Priyanka Chopra In Talks For BAYWATCH Movie

Paramount Pictures' film adaptation of Baywatch may have recruited a new lifeguard.

Variety reports that Quantico star Priyanka Chopra is in negotiations to join the cast alongside Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario, and Kelly Rohrbach. Seth Gordon (The King of Kong, Horrible Bosses) is directing, and the most recent draft of the script reportedly comes from writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift.

The movie, an adaptation of the popular '90s TV series, is a comedy that surrounds "a by-the-book and very serious lifeguard (Johnson) who is forced to team up with a young rule-flouting hothead (Efron) in order to save their beach from environmental destruction at the hands of an oil tycoon."

No word yet on Chopra's potential role, but filming is supposed to begin sometime soon, so we'll keep an ear to the ground and bring you more info on this movie as we hear about it.
