The most famous lifeguards on earth are coming to the big screen. “Baywatch,” the ’90s TV series that made Pamela Anderson and others a household name, is being developed into a film.

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has set Jeremy Garelick to rewrite and direct the project into a comedy film feature based on the Californian lifeguards on TV.

Several years ago, DreamWorks have projected the film as a semi-serious action movie, but it was never realized.

Now, Garelick, the uncredited rewriter of “The Hangover,” has rewritten the film as a comedy. It will also mark his directing debut.

He told Variety, “It felt like the template to do a movie that was similar to ‘Stripes’ and ‘Police Academy,’ the comedies I loved growing up. Rather than trying to pitch the tone, I figured it would be easier to write the first act to convey who these characters were.”

It is unlikely that the TV show’s former stars - Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Gena Lee Nolin, Traci Bingham, Erika Eleniak, Carmen Elektra, and Nicole Eggert among many others - are going to reprise their roles, but online movie blogs are expecting David Hasselhoff to make a cameo.
