So they ditched the Hoff and everyone else that made Baywatch great?

I understand they call it a reboot and for silver screen.

But then again - who gives a f'ck about D. Johnson?

This guy is plain stupid, way over-hyped and practically in every flick out there today.

He is what we should fight against: if Rock is Mitch Buchannan then I am Pope Francis of Rome.

They'll put Hoff in to do a mere cameo - out of politeness to nostalgic senses.

Of course Pam, Carmen Electra, Geena Lee Nolin - all the best women - are out of the picture.

LOL.

Perhaps, if movie is successful, they will all be in a sequel and with bigger roles.

Hoff is now in his 60's you really want to see him still playing the lead role here?

My thoughts on the above exactly. Are there people that actually want to see the original stars in their outfits....Yeah i don't think so. A cameo if possible is asking for a lot. But to make this sucessful you need actors of the current crop. And they picked really beautiful actors like Priyanka Chopra (Former Miss World) Kelly Rohrbach (Model) Alexandra Daddario, Dwayne and Zac..need i go on..

I think we're looking at a 21 Jump Street type comedy, not a straight adaptation.

And Baywatch was not great.

"Point of No Return"

Here's one plot synopsis:

"Mitch Buchannon didn't die in a boat explosion in the 10th season but has been recovering from amnesia in Los Angeles. Mitch returns to Hawaii to get married again! His new fiancée Allison looks a lot like Lt. Stephanie Holden, a past love. Little does he know, Allison is cooperating with Mason Sato who appeared in the show's 2nd season and now returns for revenge. The Baywatchers are invited to Hawaii by CJ. She's opening CJ's Bar & Grill at the Turtle Bay Resort. Coincidentally, Caroline Holden is already there filming a soap opera. Neely Capshaw (ex-Mrs. Buchannon) comes to Hawaii to stop the wedding. She wants Mitch back!"

Baywatch was great? In terms of ratings, sure. In terms of quality tv.....no.
