It’s miserable here in London right now, but the sheer brilliance of the California sun is keeping the downpour from our minds. This is the final trailer for the big screen Baywatch outing, a venture that has absolutely no right to look this much fun. Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron lead a very good-looking team of lifeguards against a property developer looking to take over the beach. Waiting for Godot it’s not, even though we’re certain that The Rock will be announced opposite Sylvester Stallone in that adaptation any time now.
Alexandra Daddario and Kelly Rohrbach star in the flick, along with Hannibal Buress. They are teaming up against Priyanka Chopra’s oil tycoon, and from the beginning the team behind New Baywatch were keen to distance it tonally from the tea-time safety of the TV series. This is signified perfectly in the new poster for the film, released yesterday.

Not exactly a barrel of subtlety. But the balls-out ramping up of the tone doesn’t preclude original stars David Hasslehoff and Pamela Anderson for having one more moment in the sun. Perhaps The Hoff will duet with The Rock on the end-credits song? We can dream right?
Here’s the new trailer. The film is out in UK cinemas on the 31st of May.
