New Baywatch Trailer Released

01/09/2017 09:23 am EST

A new trailer for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Baywatch movie has been released online.

This trailer shows that the new Baywatch definitely isn't taking itself to seriously. On the other hand, The Rock's character is taking himself and the very idea of baywatch way too seriously, which plays to great comedic effect.

Check out the trailer above.

Baywatch follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit (Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.

Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) is directing the film from a screenplay most recently written by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift and Barry Schwartz. Beau Flynn (San Andreas, Hercules), Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Up In the Air), and Michael Berk, Doug Schwartz (Soul Surfer) & Greg Bonann, creators of the iconic Baywatch television series, are producing. The executive producers are Michele Berk (Bandits, Kill the Sparrows), Louise Rosner (The Big Short, The Hunger Games franchise), Tom Pollock (Up In The Air, Oold School), and Ali Bell (Hitchcock). Eli Roth is a co-producer.
