The newly-announced Baywatch movie, which will drop on May 26, 2017, will not be a straight remake of the famous television series that ran from 1989 to 2001. The storylines have been reworked, and it’s now a hardcore comedy, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Zac Efron and Priyanka Chopra.
Efron’s character and storyline has sparked much speculation on the web. According to TheMovieNetwork, sources close to the film say he plays a disgraced Olympic swimmer, a two-time gold medalist, needing to rehab his image after committing a crime. While this sounds familiar in the aftermath of Rio and the infamous Ryan Lochte gas station incident, Baywatch wrapped production in June, nearly two months before the Olympic Games began in Rio, Brazil.
Baywatch is helmed by Seth Gordon, who has also directed Horrible Bosses and Identity Thief.
