Pamela Anderson is going to do a cameo in a comedy film based on the hit Baywatch tv show. Varietyreports that Jeremy Garelick will write and direct the film for Paramount Pictures.
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.
While new Paramount Film Group prexy Adam Goodman is sorting through the studio's development, "Baywatch" shapes up as a good bet to get made. It's one of the projects Goodman brought over from when he was an exec at DreamWorks -- and "Baywatch" has the kind of built-in global brand awareness that studios look for in potential franchises.
Pamela Anderson still looks great in bathing suits so the cameo won't be a problem for her. She wore a gold lamé swimsuit earlier this year at Richie Rich's fashion show at New York Fashion Week. Pamela has some Batwatch tv clips here on her website.
