I hope Ashley Benson gets the role. I feel like she could be great in something like this.

The snarky attitude, sure. The bikini shots? Oh, yes.

Alexandra Daddario for the win.

reply

They should put all seven of them in the movie.

I have my fingers crossed for Nina Dobrev. Stunning girl and she has a great body from years of gymnastics. She would look incredible in the Baywatch swimsuit.

reply

Too late. They've cast Daddario already in the role Dobrev was likely in contention for.

According to comicbook.com, in addition to Daddario's role, they're casting for two other ladies: CJ, the Pam Anderson role who will likely be played by a buxom blonde which Dobrev is not, and Stephanie, an older lifeguard who is the Rock's love interest which makes Dobrev too young.

Brooklyn Decker would be great for the CJ role

reply

Agreed!

Lester Burnham: 1970 Pontiac Firebird. The car I've always wanted and now I have it. I rule!

Carla Gugino for Stephanie?

reply

Might as well. Wherever the Rock is, Gugino isn't far behind.

reply

If the comicbook.com summary of the main characters is correct, there are three principal female characters. Daddario is heading the bunch as Summer. CJ is likely to be played by a buxom white blonde, i.e. an Upton, Decker or McKinney. That means that if Carla is Stephanie, they might get some flack about casting all whites in their principal female parts.

Maybe they could look at Rosario Dawson for Stephanie.

But if Rock wanted to cast Carla again, he could have her as the evil oil tycoon.

reply

Yeah, I can see the above being a bit tricky, considering they can be selective in terms of who they go for in that third role. I like Dawson but wouldn't mind seeing someone else get a chance.

Don't worry. He'll find room for her.

reply

After Top Five, Dawson has certainly shown the formidability to stand up to The Rock. And she's worked with him before on The Rundown, just like Alexandra did on San Andreas.

reply

She's fugly so no.

reply

Dawson is a tad too old now to be playing a Baywatch babe.

reply

If Dawson is too old then so is Gugino.

Bear in mind that the role we want them for is a veteran lifeguard so she's allowed to be older. And Dawson is 7 years older than Daddario and 7 years younger than Rock.

reply

Well not sure if age is the main factor as while she's a good looking woman she's not exactly buxom enough for the role.

reply

If you saw Trance or Alexander, you'd see she is. She's more buxom than Alexandra Paul whom Dawson would be filling in for.

reply

they should just take Brittany Daniel as a senior baywatch guard.

THRILLER IS MY FOOD!
