Raunchy first Baywatch trailer is definitely NSFW

Paramount has launched the first trailer for 2017’s ‘Baywatch’ movie and – oh boy – this is NOT the cheesy Baywatch you remember from the 90s.

Featuring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario, the first trailer goes heavy on the bouncing cleavage, chiselled abs, and coarse language that would make David Hasselhoff blush.

Watch it above.

Dwayne Johnson is playing Mitch Buchanan, head of Emerald Bay Beach Patrol – AKA Baywatch – who’s had airhead Olympian Matt Brody thrust on to him by his bosses as a “good PR opportunity”.

Brody seems brave, a bit dim-witted, but with a beach bod that says “I’ve literally never eaten a biscuit IN MY LIFE”. He joins Alexandra Daddario as Summer Quinn (played by Nicole Eggert in the TV show), Nicole Rohrbach as C.J. Parker (the Pamela Anderson role), and Ilfenesh Hadera as Stephanie Holden (originally played by Alexandra Paul).

The films seems to going for a self-aware ’21 Jump Street’ vibe which is probably appropriate than trying to make a gritty straight-laced film about life guards, given the cheesy nature of the source material, and we have to say: this approach is working for us.

‘Baywatch’ is coming to UK cinemas next summer.
