Unfortunately, McCourt didn’t offer any details on past discussions involving a Baywatch reboot, and if past stars such as David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, or Jason Momoa were involved in any way.
Of course, all this talk about Baywatch remasters eventually leads to the discussion of a television-based reboot, which the original producers are not ruling out.
Having said that, McCourt said that if the remastered version of the series sells extremely well and pulls in a new audience like the producers are hoping, the odds of a television reboot are much better.
FremantleMedia International COO Bob McCourt said that a television reboot was “definitely discussed” around the time the film was being made, but the film’s mixed reviews put that conversation on the back burner.
