Baywatch: It's Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Alexandra Daddario to the rescue in reboot's first cast picture

Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron and Alexandra Daddario hit the beach in the first official Baywatch cast photo.

Paramount Pictures debuted the snap of the trio and co-stars Kelly Rohrbach, Ilfenesh Hadera and Jon Bass to mark the one-year countdown to Baywatch's release.

Noticeably missing, sadly, are original Baywatch legends David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, who will both have cameos in this remake of the campy '90s action drama.

The new Baywatch actually recasts several of the classic characters, with The Rock replacing Hasselhoff as veteran lifeguard Mitch Buchannon and Efron as David Charvet's hot-shot Matt Brody.

Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach and Ilfenesh Hadera play lifeguards Summer Quinn, C. J. Parker and Stephanie Holden - characters made famous by Nicole Eggert, Pamela Anderson and Alexandra Paul respectively.

Baywatch crashes into cinemas on May 12, 2017 in the UK and May 19 in the US.
