“Welcome to Baywatch!” – yes after months and months of anticipation and promotion, the remake of the beloved television series is now just weeks away and in celebration of that fact, Paramount Pictures have released a new R-Rated trailer for the film, which you can view in the player below!
Directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), Baywatch promises to be the biggest and best R-rated comedy of the year – and judging by this new trailer, they have but the “R” in restricted for sure. And after the failure of fellow television adaptation CHiPS earlier this year, this one is flying the flag to prove that not all shows that make it to the big screen are considered disappointments.
