When a title like Baywatch gets remade, it’s only right it receives similar treatment to its roots in one way or another. In the case of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s new take on sexy lifeguards and the beach they patrol, it was time for the film to get a 90’s makeover.
The trailer, shown at the top of the page, combines footage from the new Baywatch film (which isn’t exactly making waves at the box office) and some snippets of the original TV series, all cut together in a style which remasters the 90s look which keeps the show iconic today.

The new Baywatch movie 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.
Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) is directing the film from a screenplay most recently written by Damian Shannon & Mark Swift and Barry Schwartz. Beau Flynn (San Andreas, Hercules), Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters, Up In the Air), and Michael Berk, Doug Schwartz (Soul Surfer) & Greg Bonann, creators of the iconic Baywatch television series, are producing. The executive producers are Michele Berk (Bandits, Kill the Sparrows), Louise Rosner (The Big Short, The Hunger Games franchise), Tom Pollock (Up In The Air, Oold School), and Ali Bell (Hitchcock).
