10 Biggest Movie And TV News This Week (Oct 5)

4. The Rock To Star In Baywatch Movie

Baywatch Yes, you read that headline correctly, and no, this is not an April Fool's joke. Early this week a rumor broke out that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would be starring in a new Baywatch movie, and then the news was confirmed by the wrestler-turned-movie star himself. https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/517862478966177794 What's perhaps most intriguing about this news, besides the bizarre nature of the news itself, is the #RatedR hashtag. Will we be seeing a version of Baywatch akin to something like Pain & Gain or raunchy comedies like 21 Jump Street or Neighbors? That may actually be a version of the corny beach-centric television series we'd like to see. Comedy writer Justin Malen is rewriting the script that originated from Reno 911 co-creator Robert Ben Garant, while the directing duo behind Horrible Bosses 2 and We're the Millers are on directing duties.
