Spielberg to make Baywatch movie

Steven Spielberg is behind moves to bring back Baywatch this time to the big screen.

According to the New York Post, Spielberg has secured the movie rights to the show from its co-creator Greg Bonann and plans to make the movie in 2006.

Baywatch debuted in 1989 as a weekly series on NBC starring David Hasselhoff as the lifeguard who patrolled the beaches of Malibu surrounded by a group of scantily clad lifesavers.

The show was cancelled after 11 years during which time it made sex symbols of stars like Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Carmen Electra, Donna D'Errico and Gena Lee Nolan.

The show aired in more than 140 countries and even spawned a spinoff, Baywatch Nights. It was renamed Baywatch Hawaii when it relocated in 1999.

In 2001 it was cancelled when viewing figures in the US fell to just 1.9 million a week.[/quote:3b483]

i don't care what you people think. I liked that show. I used to watch it when I got home from school. If you're thinking in only watched it for the fake boobs you're wrong as well. biggrin:

and this is where spielberg realises he has made as many fantastic movies as possible, and has resorted to this

It got the name "wankwatch" over here, first, it was wank, the second reason should be fairly obvious.

Baywatch was the most watched show in the world at one point. Personally I liked it, would watch it if was on TV and I had nothing to do.

This is just....unlike spielberg I guess....

What happened too that "BoB2" type deal, about the war in the pacific....?

Speilberg has done TERMINAL and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN - two "quirky" films - BAYWATCH could EASILY fit under this. . .of course the original cast isnt going to be used except for HASSELHOFF. . .

Movie could easily work. . .
