The Rock Comments on the Upcoming “Baywatch” Movie

It would seem that The Rock has no problems talking about demigods and beaches in the same convention.

While promoting his new movie at Disney’s 23 Expo in Anaheim, California, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson also took  time to comment on the upcoming modern film adaption of the hit television series “Baywatch”, of which he will both be starring in and producing.

Here are some excerpts from an interview that he did with MTV News:

[Baywatch] is the most successful IP in the world, and that’s saying a lot, considering how successful some of these intellectual properties are. Because of that, we’ve all taken great care, and steps, into making sure that we do it right. We hired really great writers. We have a really director on board, Seth Gordon… he’s got a great vision.”

“We want to make a big movie; a fun beach movie. [We want to] bring the beach movie back to the world, but also have something that has edge and has bad ass action and really dirty, rated-R humor, which is right in my wheelhouse.”

“The casting of ‘Baywatch’ has become such a thing. We’ve cast Zac Efron, and now this is the fun thing about it. Who’s going to play C.J.? I can’t tell you the amount of calls we’ve been getting from the most gorgeous actresses and models in the world, from their agents and managers. They all want to be C.J.”

The last time we saw The Rock in a WWE ring was at a Live Event in Boston, Massachusetts. He has also been rumored to appear at the upcoming “SummerSlam” pay-per-view, as well as being heavily promoted on the WrestleMania 32 production trucks.

Editor’s Note:

From the tooth fairy to a lifeguard, it would seem that there is no character that The Rock can’t play. He is such a versatile performer, both in the ring and on the big screen. He’s simply brilliant.
