As the freight train that is ‘90s nostalgia continues to
barrel through popular culture, slowly gathering steam as it rushes towards the
ultimate end goal of 2017’s Power Rangers
film, it’s picked up another unlikely passenger. In this case it’s a reboot/revival/reimagining/re-whatever
your preferred term is, of the seminal ‘90s life guarding TV show Baywatch. The Baywatch movie
is set to star the rock as part of his post-2013 career revival and, over the
weekend, picked up Seth Gordon of Horrible
Bosses to direct. This is the
2nd time I’ve had to report on a Horrible
Bosses alumni getting a major break in recent weeks so I expect Jason
Bateman will be getting a major casting break sometime soon as well.
