Get ready for a whole lot of good-looking people doing raunchy stuff at the beach because a brand new trailer forBaywatchhas been released. Warning: this trailer is most definitely NSFW so, if you’re going to watch it at your desk, you should probably at the very least put on your headphones first. This new trailer definitely goes big on the raunchy humor and makes it clear that thisBaywatch rebootis going to earn its R-rating.
Paramountdropped this most recentBaywatch trailertoday, which could very well be the last trailer we see beforeBaywatchhits theaters this May. In the video, we can see the entire cast really playing up the sex jokes and the ridiculous, at times unnecessary, action. It seems like this new take on the classic 90s series is going to be taking everything thatBaywatchdid and, in trueSpinal Tapfashion, they are going to turn it up to 11. Here is the official synopsis forBaywatch
“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.”
Baywatchis coming out seemingly at the perfect time. It definitely feels like a summer movie and releasing it at the end of May feels like the right move. But Disney is also releasingPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Taleson the same weekend. Given the history of thePiratesfranchise at the box office, it seems almost certain that movie will dominate. Not only that, but Fox is dropping the highly-anticipatedAlien: Covenantthe week before. There will definitely be some stiff competition forBaywatchbut it could work as a good bit of counterprogramming. And if there is one thing we have learned in recent years it is to never underestimate people’s desire to seeThe Rockdo virtually anything. He hasn’t had a movie flop in a very long time so, unless this movie is genuinely terrible, it seems unlikely that it will fail.
The originalBaywatch TV seriesinitially aired in 1989, but became a global sensation in the early 90s afterPamela AndersonandYasmine Bleethjoined the cast for the second season. The show ran until 2001 and even spawned a spin-off,Baywatch Nights, whichDavid Hasselhofftook part in. BothPamela AndersonandDavid Hasselhoffare going to be making cameo appearances in the movie but since theirclassic charactersare being played by different actors in the movie it is a little unclear who they will be playing.
TheBaywatch castincludes starsDwayne Johnson,Zac Efron,Priyanka Chopra,Alexandra Daddario,Kelly Rohrbach,Ilfenesh HaderaandJon Bass. The movie is directed bySeth Gordon(Horrible Bosses) with a script fromDamian ShannonandMark Swift.Baywatchis set to hit theatres on May 26.
