The hit 90s TV series Baywatch is set to be turned into a movie, but the show is being remade as a comedy prequel. Yet that reportedly hasn't stopped aging members of the original cast, including David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak and Yasmine Bleeth from wanting to take part.

Hasselhoff, who also produced the TV show, has told studio bosses he is "100 per cent on board" and will clear his schedule for a high-profile cameo role. He is reportedly angling to play the dad of his original character Mitch.

Transformers star Shia LaBeouf, Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson and Star Trek's new Captain Kirk Chris Pine are rumored to be among those being courted to play the new Mitch. Megan Fox is favourite to be Pamela Anderson's character CJ Parker.

A studio source told the UK's What's on TV: "All of the original cast are super-excited."

Oooo! We're just tingling! ... A comedy about lifeguards patroling California beaches? Sounds just a bit familiar to us.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
