We told you a few days ago that a trailer for the new Baywatch film would be released this week, and now you can see we weren’t lying. The first official trailer was released this morning by Dwayne Johnson.
As we reported earlier this week, the release date for this film was pushed back one week. Instead of being released May 19, 2017, it will hit theaters May 26, 2017. The change was made because the weekend of the 26th is less crowded.
It’s rumored that both Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff will make special appearances in this adaption of their 1990s hit TV show.
This trailer focuses on Johnson and Zac Efron, though. Johnson is playing Hasselhoff’s role as Mitch Buchannon, the lead lifeguard. Efron plays a character named Matt Brody, who is hired as a PR stunt to “drum up more interest in the team’s work.”
And as you might expect, Buchannon and Brody don’t exactly see eye to eye, or maybe pec to pec would be more appropriate here.
Anyway, you can check out the official synopsis and trailer below…
“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.”
