The Baywatch television series lasted for several seasons and made its indelible mark on popular culture because, essentially, it was eye candy for men.
No offense to Pamela Anderson, but she didn"t grow into a worldwide sensation due to her Emmy Award-caliber acting.
Now, the Baywatch movie is looking to make a similar impression on viewers by flipping the script:
It appears to be pure eye candy as well. For women.
The first trailer for this action-comedy focuses extensively on stars Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
To be specific, though, it focuses extensively on their chiseled physiques, especially that of Efron, which looks almost too well-sculpted and ridiculous to be real.
Except it it real. And it"s amazing.
Johnson and Efron will appear in the Baywatch movie as lifeguards (d"uh!) who are looking to both restore the good name of their company and also take down some bad guys in the process.
Look for a few gratuitous shots of the lifeguards running down the beach in their swimsuits,, including one clear shout-out to the TV show.
"Why does she always look like she"s running in slow motion?" Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario) says of a fellow lifeguard in the preview.
HA! That"s pretty good.
The film also stars Quantico"s Priyanka Chopra, Charlotte McKinney and, yes, Anderson herself.
It will be released on May 19, 2017 and – dare we say this? – it looks pretty entertaining.
