Deadline adds, “Now, it’s possible they will expand the search, and it’s also possible some of these young actresses will play other roles in the film.” If you’d like more details as to who they might be playing click here.
The popular television series Baywatch, which ran from 1989 to 1999 and starred David Hasselhoff and a bevy of beauties, is getting rebooted by Paramount into a R-rated comedy film that will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Furious 7) and Zac Efron (17 Again). It will be a hotshot former Olympian (Efron) butting heads with Mitch Buchannon (Johnson), the leader of an elite team of lifeguards.
Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Theft) will direct, based on a script by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift.
Baywatch will start filming around February 2016.
