Pamela Anderson in the original series, Baywatch
The writers of the soon to kick into shoot mode The Sitter, starring Jonah Hill, have been snapped up by Paramount Pictures to write the big-screen version of Baywatch, based on the classic TV series that ran from 1989-1999.
Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka will step up to pen the highly-anticipated, and long-mooted project for Paramount, who are now to kick the pic into production this year for a big summer 2011 release. Jeremy Garelick (writer of The Break-Up) will make his directorial debut on the film.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business blog says that the studio are after a film somewhere between the tone of Charlie’s Angels and Starsky and Hutch.
