Start practicing your mouth-to-mouth, because Baywatch is coming back.

After the success of films like 21 Jumpstreet, The Equalizer, Miami Vice and The A-Team it's clear that Hollywood is determined to plumb the depths of the '80s and '90s primetime line-ups for movie fodder. So it's no real surprise that Baywatch, the not exactly beloved, but frequently watched (and mocked) '90s television series about comely California lifeguards is getting the reboot treatment.

Pro-wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed via Instagram that Baywatch the movie is happening with The Rock himself stepping into the famed red shorts of TV show star, David Hasselhoff.

“'This is my beach bitch!'” wrote Johnson. “Rumors are true... we're making #BAYWATCH the movie. Edgy, raunchy and hopefully, funny as all hell. Cue slo mo running on the beach... #WhoNeedsMouthToMouth #RedShortsBeHugginABrotha”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount Pictures has hired relative newcomer Justin Malen to transform the schlocky, drama-filled television show into something that will get audiences into the theater. (It’s safe to assume “Pamela Anderson in bikini,” "body oil" and “lots of slow motion running” are already in his script notes.)

Malen honed his writing chops on the short-lived, but well-loved ABC comedy Trophy Wife, so he may be up to the task. He is not, however, the first writer to take a crack at the script. Evidently, the film adaptation has been in development for years and gone through a number of rewrites, including one that included shark attacks and a drug-smuggling ring. Now it appears they’ve decided to do it "funny as all hell," as Johnson so eloquently noted. Sean Anders and John Morris, who co-wrote the hit comedy We’re the Millers, are attached to direct.

Baywatch celebrated its 25th anniversary on Sept. 22. It ran for 11 seasons due in large part to the unflagging popularity of watching hot people saving other hot people while wearing swimsuits. It was Hasselhoff's first post-Knight Rider success and made Anderson a household name, while filling the TV screens with teen boy fantasy fodder like Yasmine Bleeth, Brooke Burns, Donna D'Errico, Erika Eleniak and Nicole Eggert.

While there's no word on whether the former cast will be reprising their roles, it's hard to imagine anyone keeping Hasselhoff away from this project.
