Based on the original hit television series that originally aired on NBC in 1989, Baywatch is all set for a big budget feature film treatment starring Hollywood heavyweight Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Zac Efron (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising) in the lead roles. Despite being initially cancelled after only one season on the air, the original series featuring David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson went on for another ten years – and even spawned its own spin-off series in 1999, in the form of Baywatch Hawaii.
Enter director Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), who is the filmmaker tasking with giving the Baywatch property a big screen, 21st century makeover. Ahead of the Baywatch movie’s theatrical release in 2017, plenty of details – including confirmation that both Hasselhoff and Anderson will be making special appearances in the Baywatch movie – have already made their way online. Now the film has also gotten a fresh pair of holiday-themed posters.
First posted to the official Baywatch Twitter account, the two Halloween-themed posters feature Johnson and Efron alongside their co-stars in full holiday regalia and the tagline “So hot it’s scary. #Boowatch.” Like the Baywatch Father’s Day-themed poster from earlier this past summer, the marketing campaign being employed here mirrors embraces a decidedly tongue-in-cheek approach.
