Jeremy Garelick to Write and Direct Baywatch
Recently we have talked about a number of films that seem to be grasping to obscure pop culture references as the basis for the movie. Asteroids, Viewmaster, Slinky (just wait for it) etc. Then there has been a number of shows that managed to find a degree of success with little to no premise.
But in the most obscure pop culture tie in reference is this beach movie about lifeguards. Yeah you wouldn’t care at all about it, but they are making it an adaptation of BAYWATCH!
At least they have attached a writer with a little credibility. We will forgive him for apprenticing under Schumacher’s boot, but Jeremy Garelick had his fingers in The Hangover.
Now Jeremy Garelick, who came up in the business working for Joel Schumacher, then co-wrote The Break-Up and became part of Todd Phillips’ rewrite crew (he did uncredited work on The Hangover) has been tapped to rewrite and direct Baywatch as a broad comedy.The script now focuses on two unlikely lifeguard candidates trying to catch on alongside the buff bodies that will be as abundant in the film as they were in the TV series.”
Cameo appearances of Hasselhoff from the ribcage up and Pamela Anderson almost seem a requirement, but I think the most likely returning culprit would be the slow motion beach running babes in red one piece swimsuits. I wonder how long before Megan Fox is approached.
That’s your headlining star right there.
Fox is gonna be a must for this film….she can’t act for shit, but she won’t need to, just needs to show off her body and the ticket sales will sky rocket.
….and please have a cameo appearance by Electra.
Megan fox should be in this too cause no one is going to watch it for the acting anyway so just grab the Maxim top 100 and out as many as they sign in it.
Comedy, eh?
Whatever floats your boat.
But one thing I really, really ask. All new lifeguards. Nobody cast in the roles that once were played by the Hoff, Ms. Anderson, Alexandia Paul,Yasmine Bleeth, Nicole Eggert heck, even Parker Stevenson. NOBODY. I mean NOBODY.
Well, lots of beef and buff body…but that’s it. zzzzzzzzippp! End of story! Tag ‘em n bag ‘em,
The next I ask you ask?
Candace Smith
Kelly Monaco
and any Jessica Alba clone
Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra must be there. And if Megan Fox is approached, I will be the most happy guy out there in the world. And I also think they should bring Jenny MacCarthy[I don't think I spelled it right].
