Lennon & Garant Talk "Baywatch" Movie

Reno 911 creators and stars Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant are at work on the long-gestating film version of the hit TV Show "Baywatch" at Paramount. Garant is also directing the film called "Baywatch: Red Tide,"

They recently spoke with Collider and said that the script for the film is completed and that it's "basically Reno 911! with sexy people."

The pair went back and watched some of the crazier episodes of the show.

Garant says: "The plot of one of the episodes in the first season is that there’s a giant squid stealing people’s surfboards. That’s a real episode" and also commented on one second season episode which he describes as "The Shining" in swimsuits, with Nicole Eggert."

They say the film is "Point Break-y". They've also tried to get a little bit of the weird plots of the show into the script via various references

In June 2012, Justin Timberlake was linked to play a disgraced former Olympic swimmer trying out for the Baywatch crew. But that's never been confirmed

Series stars David Hassehoff and Pamela Anderson have roles written for them if they wish to appear

In late 2011 "Rescue Me" co-creator Peter Tolan had reportedly finished the latest script which goes the way of the recent 21 Jump Street movie in that it's not a parody but it is a comedy, and is only loosely based on the show even though there will be some nods to the series.
