Baywatch seems to be dipping its toes into the very meta waters of 21 Jump Street. After the action-packed first trailer teased the movie that helped get Zac Efron so ridiculously ripped, Baywatch has an international trailer that leans into some self-awareness. Baywatch, starring Efron and Dwayne “the Rock†Johnson, updates the classic TV series to the modern era, which means bigger explosions and cooler outfits. Efron plays a Ryan Lochte–style not-that-smart former Olympian, while Johnson is the dutiful lifeguard intent on restoring the Baywatch brand (how meta!). Alexandra Daddario plays another lifeguard. Priyanka Chopra, who features a lot more heavily in the international trailer — guess who sells movies outside the U.S.! — plays the villain. Baywatch hits theaters May 26, 2017 in the U.S.
The International Baywatch Trailer Has More Jokes and, Praise Be, More Priyanka Chopra
