Jeremy Garelick To Make 'Baywatch'

Baywatch
Hoping to add some giggle to the jiggle, Paramount Pictures has set Jeremy Garelick to rewrite and direct "Baywatch," a bigscreen comedy based on the syndicated series about buff lifeguards who patrol a beach in California.

The film marks Garelick's directing debut. The scribe, who most recently did an uncredited rewrite of "The Hangover" with Todd Phillips, has written "Murray at Large" for Phillips to produce and possibly direct at Warner Bros., and also scripted "The Insane Laws" at Columbia.
