BIG heaving chests and big hair will hit the big screen as Baywatch babes dust down their red swimsuits for movie-making legend Steven Spielberg's latest project.
The veteran director has bought the film rights to the hit American television series and plans to put the show's lifesaving antics on celluloid.
It's the first time Spielberg's involvement in the surf and sand flick has been confirmed although last year showbiz insiders hinted his production company, DreamWorks, was considering the movie.
The news is sure to delight Baywatch fans across the world. It's unlikely, though, the show's original cast will star in the remake of the sexy series.
Baywatch, which launched in 1989, made small-screen superstars of actors David Hasselhoff and brunette beauty Carmen Electra.
David went on to become a popular recording artist in Germany while Carmen works as an MTV presenter.
But it was busty, blonde bombshell Pamela Anderson who became a household name as hot lifesaver CJ.
With her pneumatic chest squeezed into a super high-cut, tight red swimming costume, Pamela became the epitome of a cool Californian beach babe - desired by men and emulated by women.
Viewers were treated weekly to the show's trademark slow-motion running scenes in which the lifesavers - hard-bodied, Speedo-clad men and well-endowed women - battled the Pacific Ocean to save the lives of reckless swimmers.
By the time the series ended in 2001 it had become a hit in more than 140 countries and had been translated into more 40 languages.
Spielberg, who has made some of the most successful films in history including ET and Raiders of the Lost Ark, is sure to create box office waves with his latest movie undertaking.
