Wellington
(ANI):
US
producer
and
director
Greg
Bonann,
the
creator
of
the
hit
TV
series
Baywatch,
is
looking
for
a
Kiwi
actress
that
he
could
turn
into
Pamela
Anderson
for
a
new
New
Zealand
TV
drama.
Bonann,
who
launched
Anderson
and
her
co-star
David
Hasselhoff
into
stardom,
has
plans
for
a
new
drama
in
New
Zealand
and
wants
to
do
the
same
with
three
Kiwi
girls
in
a
show
dubbed
'Southern
Lakes'.
He
has
started
work
with
some
of
Hollywood's
well-known
writers
to
develop
a
script
for
the
show,
and
hopes
to
shoot
a
pilot
episode
in
Queenstown
next
year.
His
Kiwi-born
business
partner,
Walter
Brown,
who
co-produced
Baywatch
Downunder,
an
Australian
spin-off
of
the
hit
lifeguard
series,
revealed
on
December
7
that
the
show
would
be
a
sizzling
hot
drama
that
played
on
Queenstown's
massive
tourism
scene.
"One
idea
to
maximise
the
breathtaking
landscapes
of
the
Southern
Lakes
region
and
to
ensure
the
show
has
a
tourism
theme
with
an
endless
flow
of
colourful
international
characters
is
(having)
three
beautiful,
adventurous
sisters
return
to
Queenstown
to
rescue
their
grandfather's
floundering
floatplane
charter
service,
Queenstown
Air," the
NZPA
quoted
Brown
as
telling
Sunday
News
from
his
base
in
California.
"Trouble,
drama
and
adventure
find
them
each
week
as
they
fight
to
preserve
their
family
business
in
the
face
of
overwhelming
odds," he
said.
Brown
hopes
most
of
the
characters
including
the
three
principal
roles
will
be
found
and
cast
in
New
Zealand
and
expects
the
drama
to
be
a
hit.
"Greg
created
the
most
popular
television
series
in
history
so
he
knows
what
people
want
to
watch," he
said.
"Baywatch
had
all
the
elements
to
be
extraordinarily
successful
in
its
day
and
it
created
household
names.
Of
course
every
producer
hopes
for
that
kind
of
success
and
personally,
I
think
New
Zealand
has
the
magic
to
do
it,"
he
added.
