TV’s “Baywatch” is about to get the big screen treatment. Paramount Pictures has already selected Jeremy Garelick to rewrite and direct a comedy version of Baywatch, based on the TV series about lifeguards.

Garelick did an uncredited rewrite of “The Hangover,” and has written “Murray at Large” and “The Insane Laws.”

Garelick said of the “Baywatch” film, “It felt like the template to do a movie that was similar to ‘Stripes’ and ‘Police Academy,’ the comedies I loved growing up.”
