Lifetime has greenlit a remake of The Blue Lagoon.
Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Cable Drama: Still Waiting for the Cable Guy to Show Up with the Thread Name...
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])
Oh my GOD.
Seriously?
But WHY?
Someone please tell me Justin Bieber will star. I don't want to click on the link, in case it doesn't say that.
I'm a sucker for the original (well, not the real original, although I would love to see the young Jean Simmons) because I imprinted on it at a really impressionable age (watch Amy rationalize!), but even I've never seen the one with Milla Jojovich. And another remake? Yikes.
I think the one with Milla Jovavich was actual a sequel (like, somehow their children got stranded there? But that is a lot of incest, so I don't know).
I also imprinted on it-- for some reason I couldn't sleep the entire summer of my 7th grade year, and for some reason, it seemed like they ran this movie nightly at 4 am.
Every ten years Hollywood has to sacrifice a nubile young virgin to The Blue Lagoon in order to appease the Lovecraftian god that keeps the money coming in no matter how bad the movies are.
Amy,
I get your rationalization actually. I think I have an unchecked affection for "Grease" for that reason.
Yes! If Grease or The Blue Lagoon is on, at any hour, I MUST watch. It's a sickness.
