Baywatch Super Bowl Spot – Zac Efron’s star-spangled speedos steal the show

By

For people who aren’t that interested in American Football, probably the most memorable moment from the Super Bowl wasn’t on the field, it was in the ad break, when a spot for the big screen version of Baywatch featured Zac Efron in some very small stars and stripes speedos. I’m not sure whether that would be classed as patriotic or not?

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘BAYWATCH follows devoted lifeguard Mitch Buchanan (Dwayne Johnson) as he butts heads with a brash new recruit ( Zac Efron). Together, they uncover a local criminal plot that threatens the future of the Bay.’ Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Jon Bass, Kelly Rohrbach and Ilfenesh Hadera also star.

You can take a look at the Super Bowl spot below. The movie will be in cinemas in May. [Read more…]

Baywatch Red Band Trailer – Zac Efron & The Rock take on the 90s series

By

Just take a look at the picture above, and tell me it hasn’t reached the point where it looks like Zac Efron’s head has been transplanted onto someone else’s body. This is admittedly from a particularly pumped up shot from the new Baywatch red-band trailer, but even in his other shirtless shots, he does look like he should be told that having more than 2% body fat is not a crime. But hey, perhaps he felt hulking it up wa necessary if he was going to be shirtless next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.

The film is, of course, based on the hit 90s TV series. As you might expect being taken from show that’s known for being pretty cheesy, the film keeps it’s tongue firmly in its cheek. And yes, there is some slo-mo running in swimsuits.

Take a look at the new International Red Band trailer below. Baywatch will be in cinemas next summer.

Baywatch Trailer – Dwayne Johnson & Zac Efron prove just how much time they’ve spent in the gym

By

From the evidence of this first trailer for Baywatch, Zac Efron is trying to very slowly turn into the Hulk – he may start turning green at some point, although for this movie, he’s gone for orange. The man has the most ridiculously defined, bulging torso. But then, he may not see it that way, as perhaps he was feeling puny next to the bulk of Dwayne Johnson.

Either way, the sight of both of them with their shirts off is quite impressive.

Zac Efron Is Heading For Wall Street & Going Straight To Hell

By

bad-neighbours-2-zac-efron-shirtlessZac Efron is putting his producers hat on, as Variety reports that he’s Zac Efron developing and may star in a movie loosely based on John LeFevre’s book, Straight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance, Debauchery, and Billion-Dollar Deals.

The film will be another trip to the shady side of Wall Street, as the book is based on LeFevre’s own experiences, ‘offering a dark yet humorous account of his life as a high-profile investment banker.’ It’s not known how the movie might change things, although as it’s already being billed as a loose adaptation, it’s safe to say they’ll make a few changes, while still showing us the seductive world of big money and excess that resulted in financial implosion.

Paramount Pictures is backing the movie, with John M. Phillips writing the script. It’s not known when it might shoot.

Rebecca Ferguson Up For Hugh Jackman’s Musical The Greatest Showman

By

rebecca-fergusonWhen it was announced that Michelle Williams was joining the PT Barnum musical biopic The Greatest Showman, many assumed she would be playing Swedish opera star Jenny Lind. However, that role is actually going to Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation’s Rebecca Ferguson, according the Variety.

As well as Ferguson and Williams, the cast also include Zendaya, Zac Efron and Hugh Jackman, as Barnum. The film will focus life of Barnum, who was known for his elaborate hoaxes before creating the three-ring circus. He also spent a lot of time pining for Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind, and it’s believed this relationship will be the central spine of the movie.

Michael Gracey is attached to direct. The project has been in the works for over five years, but apparently Fox has now made it a priority, partly because they know what a passion project it is for Jackman. It should start filming this autumn.
