Horrible Bosses and Identity Theft director Seth Gordon is in negotiation to helm Paramount Pictures’ Baywatch movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Furious 7), according to Variety.
Johnson has been attached to the project since October of last year, but there hasn’t been much movement until today’s report. The film will put a comedic spin on the television series that focused on the day-to-day lives of Lifeguards patrolling the beaches of Los Angeles, California.
