Alexandra Daddario and Ashley Benson Lead 'Baywatch' Shortlist


There's going to be an R-Rated Baywatch movie headed to theaters, and while that sounds potentially awful, having stars like Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron cracking jokes and flexing muscles is a good start. But it won't be just those two dudes running around in red lifeguard shorts; there will also be plenty of hot women in tiny red swimsuits to be cast.

While it's unclear just how many roles there will be in the film, probably plenty, a list of actresses testing for the female lead has been revealed by Deadline. That list includes Alexandra Daddario, who worked with Johnson on San Andreas, Ashley Benson (Spring Breakers), Nina Dobrev (The Final Girls), Alexandra Shipp (X-Men: Apocalypse), Shelley Hennig (Unfriended), Bianca Santos (The DUFF), and Denyse Tontz. It's possible more of these actresses could be cast to fill up some of the other female roles.

Filming begins early next year with Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) at the helm.
