Hasselhoff Lines Up Price For Baywatch Relaunch

15 July 2009 5:16 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

David Hasselhoff is planning a U.K. version of his legendary TV show Baywatch - with former glamour model Katie Price slipping into Pamela Anderson's iconic red swimsuit.

The former Knight Rider star is eyeing a relaunch of the love-and-lifeguards show, swapping sun-kissed beaches in Los Angeles for the windy British shoreline.

And he wants busty Price - who shot to fame as surgically-enhanced model Jordan - to take over Anderson's famous role as C.J. Parker.

He tells the U.K.'s Daily Star, "I've been thinking about basing a new show over here. It would be called UK-Watch. And Jordan is certainly feisty and has curves in all the right places."

Bruno Review

12 July 2009 9:23 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

Bruno Directed by: Larry Charles Written by: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Hines, Dan Mazer, Jeff Schaffer Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Gustaf Hammarsten In 2006, British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen took America by storm with the release of his feature film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Borat was one of three characters he had been developing over the past 10 or so years, which eventually gained mainstream attention on Da Ali G Show. The movie ended up taking over $260 million worldwide, but was followed with controversy, lawsuits and a backlash, leading many people to wonder if a follow up film would even be feasible, let alone profitable. Cohen's response is an even more outrageous movie based around another one of his alter-egos, the gay Austrian fashion critic Bruno. Drawing from his own experiences working briefly as a model out of university, he simultaneously skewers the fashion

Brüno Cheat Sheet: Everything You Need To Know

We give you the lowdown on the fashion journalist from Austria.

By Eric Ditzian

Brüno

Maybe you've heard of this guy Brüno? He's been hanging out in Spain dressed like a bull who likes to show off a little skin and in London marching down the street with a bunch of sexed-up palace guards. Why? Because he's fabulous, naturally. And because he's got this movie — surely the year's most anticipated flick about a gay Austrian fashion reporter who journeys to America to become super-duper famous — coming out on Friday (July 10), and he's been sashaying across the globe to make sure every man, woman and child knows his name.

Exhausting work, no doubt, but Sacha Baron Cohen — the comic chameleon behind Brüno — has traveled this masquerading road before. Starting with his U.K. comedy program "Da Ali G Show" and up through 2006's surprise blockbuster "Borat," Cohen has

Two Of A Kind: Sacha Baron Cohen And Andy Kaufman

9 July 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

If you’ve witnessed any episode of HBO’s “Da Ali G Show,” the 2006 film “Borat” or its upcoming spiritual follow-up “Brüno,” then it’d be very easy to come to the conclusion that Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedic chameleon without equal. You would be wrong though. There also a not-so-little somebody that may or may not have gone by the name of Andy Kaufman.

Like Cohen, Kaufman’s entire routine depended on the idea of deception: deceiving his co-stars and unwitting participants at times, but always shocking his audience in one form or another. The two entertainers had their own sets of characters but the alter-ego personas definitely share some common traits, if only in method and on a thematic level.

In 2006, Cohen broke out into the mainstream with his bumbling man-out-of-country character in “Borat,” a Khazakstanian journalist who travels to America in order to learn the secret ways of its populace,

Joan Rivers has been tucked, pulled, and now she'll be roasted. Yes, the comedian known for her no-holds-barred comedy will be on the receiving end this time as Comedy Central hosts the "Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers." Who else will host but fellow brash female comedian Kathy Griffin?

Griffin will take time out from her heavily watched "D-List" activities to join Rivers as Roast Master. Griffin, as only she could, said that she'll be giving Rivers a "verbal pap smear."

"I will be roasting Joan with more gentleness and tenderness than her latest chemical peel and, on the other hand, I will give her a verbal pap smear and god only knows what I'm going to find down there," Griffin said.

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has hired Jeremy Garelick to rewrite and direct the new movie into a comedy film.

Paramount Hires Writer And Director For "Baywatch" Film

8 July 2009 2:52 AM, PDT | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news

The most famous lifeguards on earth are coming to the big screen. "Baywatch," the '90s TV series that made Pamela Anderson and others a household name, is being developed into a film.

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has set Jeremy Garelick to rewrite and direct the project into a comedy film feature based on the Californian lifeguards on TV.

Several years ago, DreamWorks have projected the film as a semi-serious action movie, but it was never realized.

Now, Garelick, the uncredited rewriter of "The Hangover," has rewritten the film as a comedy. It will also mark his directing debut.

New ‘Baywatch’ Movie Bouncing Towards Being A Comedy

7 July 2009 3:26 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

And you thought the original TV show was already a comedy... It seems the producers of the upcoming Baywatch feature film want to make an intentional comedy this time.  According to Variety, Jeremy Garelick has been brought on-board to "punch up" the script written by David Ronn and Jay Scherick back in 2005.  Garelick may not be a recognizable name just yet, but he reportedly did an uncredited rewrite on The Hangover, and we all know how that turned out... probably the funniest movie of the year.  He also wrote The Break-Up for whatever that's worth.  The good news for Garelick is that in addition to the re-writing gig Paramount has also offered him the director's chair. The original script was apparently heavy on the action set-pieces, but Garelick's new version focuses on two unlikely lifeguard trainees instead.  "It felt like the template to do a movie that was similar to Stripes and Police Academy, the

‘Baywatch’ Movie Shifts From Unintentional Comedy To Legitimate Comedy

7 July 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

I never really “tuned in” for “Baywatch” back in the 90s, but it occasionally found its way onto my TV screen. Whenever that odd circumstance arose, it would always be an occasion for loud, uproarious laughter. Which isn’t to say that the show is written as a comedy. That’s just how it plays.

Well the property belongs to Paramount now, and the studio has given Jeremy Garelick the job of producing a script. Garelick has exactly one feature-length screenplay under his belt, the Vince Vaughn/Jennifer Aniston-led rom-com “The Break-Up.” Variety’s report states that Paramount intends for the “Baywatch” movie to be a “bigscreen comedy.” The series certainly had its light-hearted moments, but it was more action/drama-oriented than anything else.

If intentional comedy is in the cards for a theatrical adaptation of “Baywatch,” Garelick represents an interesting choice. “The Break-Up” is smartly written and even serves up some edgy comedy,

New script may save Baywatch movie

7 July 2009 12:19 PM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news

Paramount Pictures has given new life to the Baywatch movie and announced that screenwriter Jeremy Garelick will rewrite and direct the film, reports Variety.

The 90s TV show about a group of California lifeguards, starring David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, gained a following all over the world so it’s no surprise a feature film would eventually follow. Original plans to bring “Baywatch” to the big screen were made in 2004 but they never materialized.

The first crack at a script by Jay Sckerick and David Ronn was action-heavy. Garelick, who recently worked on an uncredited rewrite of The Hangover, added some comedy to the Baywatch story. The new script focuses on two unlikely lifeguard candidates as they try to keep up with the buff veteran guards. Don’t worry there should still be plenty of eye candy, just as there was in the TV series.

Big-screen 'Baywatch' lands director with Garelick

7 July 2009 12:04 PM, PDT | From screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news

Jeremy Garelick will make his directorial debut with Paramount's upcoming big-screen version of former TV series "Baywatch."

Variety reports Garelick is set to rewrite and helm the project, which he will inject with a special sense of humor. Garelick's writing credits include the terrifyingly awful "The Break-Up."

The show's creators Michael Berk, Doug Schwartz, Greg Bonann and Michelle Berk will produce the updated version, which focuses on two lifeguard candidates struggling with their patroling responsibilities at a busy beach.

The original "Baywatch" debuted in 1989 and starred David Hasselhoff, Jeremy Jackson and Pamela Anderson, among others. Garelick also penned the upcoming "Murray at Large."

Baywatch movie has a life jacket on and is laughing at you

7 July 2009 10:26 AM, PDT | From Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news

It was no secret that Paramount Pictures was developing a movie from that '90s syndicated monster about buxom California lifeguards and their floatation devices, Baywatch. The studio purchased the movie and remake rights to the property four years back and thought that making a straightforward action film would be the right road to go on. Now things have changed; serious action Baywatch movie is out and comedy-action Baywatch is in!

What better way for a movie studio to send a message right now that they want their film to be funny than to hire someone associated with the making of The Hangover? Paramount has done just that and cut a check to Jeremy Garelick to not just rewrite the Baywatch movie script but also direct the picture too. Garelick is a comedy writer; he did an uncredited punch-up to The Hangover and has penned a couple of laffer scripts in development.
