The Rock Celebrates One Year Until Baywatch's Release
Promises the Avengers of the beach...
Given how often he posts on Instagram about it, you'd be forgiven for thinking that The Rock's new take on Baywatch would be coming in a matter of weeks. You'd be wrong: it officially comes out in a year's time, on May 19th 2017.
The film has just wrapped, according to Johnson, who took to Instagram to post a celebratory postcode to herald the milestone. He also promised his film would be the Avengers of the beach.
So presumably he's the Hulk then, and David Hasselhoff is Stan Lee?
"That's an official wrap! Holy sh*t we had a blast pushing the rated R envelope. Hilarious, bad ass and highly dysfunctional "Avenger's of the beach" come home. See you all next summer... MAY 19, 2017."
Baywatch is a difficult prospect: on the one hand it's based on one of the campest TV shows of all time and has a very particular marketing reach, and on the other, it's got The Rock in, and he literally saves a man who gets trapped in an underwater cage.
BAEwatch more like, amirite?
At this point, I'm pretty sure everyone would watch The Rock read the phonebook in a bath full of jelly.
