Baywatch is coming to the big screen - and Justin Timberlake is wanted for the lead role.
That's the latest news on a long-rumoured big screen adaptation of David Hasselhoff's hit TV show, which ran for 11 seasons from 1989 to 1999.
Twitchfilm.com reported Paramount Pictures wanted Timberlake,a pop star who has turned his hand to acting, to take over from Hasselhoff and play the lead role.
The movie news website reported Timberlake would play a disgraced former Olympic swimmer who becomes a lifeguard.
The movie's writers say the script would include roles for Hasselhoff and his former bikini-clad co-star, Pamela Anderson.
