'The Rock' gets shirtless again for new 'Baywatch' trailer

Movie partially filmed in South Florida

PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Paramount Pictures released the trailer Wednesday for next summer's "Baywatch" movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Zac Efron.

The movie, which was partially filmed in South Florida, is a big-screen adaption of the popular 1990s television show.

Johnson takes over the role made famous by "Knight Rider" actor David Hasselhoff, while Efron co-stars as a gold medalist hired to garner more interest in the Los Angeles County lifeguards tasked with keeping the bay safe.

Model-turned-actress Kelly Rohrbach takes on the role that belonged to sex icon Pamela Anderson in the show. Anderson's character made plenty of prepubescent teenage boys antsy to watch her running into the water in her bathing suit.

Don't worry, ladies. The trailer features plenty of Johnson's shirtless body (as if that's something new), and even a little bit of Efron.

Oh, and there are tight shirts galore.

Although not in the trailer, Hasselhoff and Anderson are expected to make cameos in the film, which opens May 26.
