Spielberg To Tackle Baywatch The Movie?

Legendary movie-maker [Steven Spielberg](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/steven-spielberg) is being linked to a forthcoming movie version of cult TV show [Baywatch](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/baywatch).

The lighthearted lifeguard drama attracted massive worldwide audiences in the 1990s largely thanks to its cast of scantily clad blondes and muscular hunks - former 'Baywatch Babes' include [Pamela Anderson](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/pamela-anderson), [Carmen Electra](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/carmen-electra), TRACI BINGHAM, [Yasmin](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/yasmin) BLEETH and GINA LEE NOLIN.

Plans for a big screen version have been discussed in the past, with the show's star [David Hasselhoff](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/david-hasselhoff) keen to be involved.

But now Spielberg, whose heavyweight film credits include SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and SCHINDLER'S LOST, has reportedly secured the movie rights from Baywatch co-creator GREG BONANN and has put the project in his diary for 2006.

According to PAGESIX.COM, the director wants to "work on something frothy and entertaining".
