Dwayne Johnson Attached to BAYWATCH Movie
Dwayne Johnson is loosely attached to star in Paramount Pictures' feature film adaptation of Baywatch. The studio seems to be looking to move forward with it quickly right now, and they've hired Justin Malen to do a rewrite of the script and Sean Anders and John Morris (We're the Millers) to direct the feature.
Johnson seems like he will take just about any acting gig. He's starred in great movies, and he's been in utterly crappy ones. Even though I'd hate to see him make another terrible movie, unfortunately it seems like he would fit right in with a movie like this.
The studio has been trying to get the movie off the ground for years, and it looks like they are finally making some headway. According to THR, at one point the story of the film was "set to revolve around a series of shark attacks that led the Baywatch team to investigate a drug-smuggling operation."
That was from a previous version of the script, but there's a chance that this could carry over into the version that Malen is working on. Only time will tell. What are you expecting to see from a movie like this?
