Denise Richards To Co-Star In ‘Blue Lagoon’ Reboot, Christopher Atkins
To Make Cameo
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: Denise Richards is staying on blue. The Blue Mountain State
star has joined the cast of the Lifetime movie Blue Lagoon, a
modern-day retelling of the classic coming-of-age love story and
remake of the 1980 romance/adventure movie starring Brooke Shields and
Christopher Atkins. The telefilm, distributed by Sony TV, stars young
Australian actors Indiana Evans and Brenton Thwaites as classmates
Emma and Dane who become marooned on a tropical island. Richards will
play Barbara Petersen, a successful and devoted mom who tirelessly
searches for her daughter Emma. Additionally, returning to the Blue
Lagoon is Atkins, who will make a cameo in the film executive produced
by Neil Meron, Craig Zadan and Judith Verno.

Richards, repped by ICM and KLWGN, just wrapped a starring role in
Tyler Perry’s Medea’s Witness Protection and has been recurring on 30
Rock. Atkins, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for his role in the
original Blue Lagoon, is about to film the indie Unbelievable. He is
with Don Carroll Entertainment.

These two stars are both over 21 years old. Brooke Shields was 14 and
Christopher Atkins was 18 in the 1980 film.
It looks like Molly Adair was under 18 when she filmed the original in 1923.

Because the original was SO GOOD.

[Ian J. Ball]

In article <1kakl71m0srrhpl6j...@4ax.com>,

This sounds like a total "reimagining" - AFAICR, there was no Denise
Richards character in the original, so I think a lot of the Lifetime
version will be spent 'off-island' with Richard's character searching
heroically to locate her lost daughter, who once was a badly shoe-horned
"4th wheel" of a mermaid who spent most of her time whining about her
love life despite being a mermaid with magical powers... :(

Which original? the book from 1908 or the 1923 film or the 1949 film or the
1980 film?

Perhaps this version will expand the amount of time the caregiver(s) last on
the island before dying?

What federal law-enforcement agency or military special ops branch was
Denise formerly a member of?

Can't we change the name of the show to "Marooned"?

Well, they're doing a TV movie, so all the gratuitous titillation will
be gone, so they need to show the totally pointless search sequences to
pad it out.

[Obveeus]

Maybe that is the truth of the re-imagining...two young people in a tropical
paradise until terror strikes (switch camera angle to image of blood in the
water).

I've never seen a frame of that. Is it actually connected in any way?
Kid of the first come back? Other kids on the same island? Other kids
on another island?

And why can't I get Into The Blue Two Electric Boogaloo in HD?

Why would you have the blue lagoon on a non paying cable channel? What's the point of Blue Lagoon without the teenage nudity?

Hey, I've seen that, it's not bad. I'm not even sure if I've seen Blue

Return to the Blue Lagoon in recent years. Since that was fairly a remake
of the Brooke Shields one, I am wondering why they have to remake it
again.

Thanks. Wiki says:

Richard is the child of Richard and Emmeline Lestrange of the original
film, who both are revealed to be dead at the beginning and are buried
at sea.

and

They decide to stay and raise their child on the island, as they feel
their blissful life would not compare to civilization.

These movies are all hype and no goodies. If you want perky nekkid

Cates, who's got a much nicer little bod than Brooke Shields OR Mila J.,
anyway. (Not that they aren't/weren't cute teenagers with perky bodies,
just that Phoebe Cates was a one in a million.)

[Obveeus]

The 1980 version of Blue Lagoon was that way as well.

[Mason Barge]

If so, the gene pool should be patented and sold on EBay.

Okay, seriously, there was apparently a stand-in for some of the nude
shots, but it appears that it was basically a fight between the director
and the producer rather than Cates refusing to do them. The producer had
the stand-in nudity shot by someone else, after the final cut.

<<One conciliation Phoebe made for Paradise was agreeing to do nude
scenes. "In this business," she says, "if a girl wants a career, she has
to be willing to strip." Cates insists she has no objections to "tasteful"
nudity. "If you've got a good bod, then why not show it?" But Cates was
infuriated by what she viewed as "real exploitation" by Paradise
producers, who used a body stand-in for her without her knowledge for a
variety of nude close-ups. As a result, Cates refused to do any promotion
for the film. "I didn't show up at their parties, didn't go to any
screenings, didn't travel anywhere they asked me to." >>

Sounds like she got mad because they decided that her body wasn't good
enough to be shown.

[Mason Barge]

Oh, I don't think so :)

[Obveeus]

They certainly didn't ask for a body double because they thought the naked
shots they had of Cates's own body were too good.

Sheena did. The Richard Greer King David film had full frontal female
nudity and didn't have an "R" rating.

The only nudity I can see that doesn't include Phoebe's face is some
of the close-ups and the sex scene. Phoebe is certainly nude in the
film even if she isn't nude in all of it.

A stand-in was used for Shields in certain scenes of the original
(which was a really lousy movie, IIRC).

So does any of Phoebe's actual nudity survive in Paradise, given the body
double? I've never tried to sit through that movie.

The underwater swimming scenes, mostly, IIRC.

Brooke Shields was younger than 14 in Pretty Baby.

I didn't suggest otherwise. I was objecting to the claim that the remake
cast is two young stars when they are both over 21...as opposed to the
various previous versions of this same story. Much of the discussion of
this occurred in a different thread, though.

I don't recall it being particularly bad. Simplistic, certainly, but an
interesting premise for a story and Brooke Shields, at least, can act.

There are a *lot* of examples of that, but luckily FTARH isn't one of

I've fast forwarded to the good stuff a few times.

There is certainly scenes where her face and naked body appear at the
same time. (T&A, IIRC).

I've tried to watch it normally but it is incredibly boring.

That could be a lot of other films.

Thanks.

It was awful. You were too busy drooling over Brooke Shields to notice.

Well, the way the story came down is that the director cut some of Cates'
nudity out of the movie. The producer then took the final cut and went to
Canada, filmed additional nude close-ups without the director or Cates'
knowledge, and spliced it in.

Cates and the director were furious. Phoebe actually probably wouldn't
have minded the nudity itself, but she was really pissed off about the
behind-the-back sneakiness. They both refused to co-operate in any
publicity for the film at all, which might be part of the reason it did so
badly in the box office. (The other part being, it was a terrible
knock-off of an already bad original.)

Cates had as beautiful a body as has even been captured on celluloid,
though :) I can't imagine the director could possibly screw up
sufficiently to make her look anything but great.

What he said.

Cates had it and wasn't afraid to show it. She talked about it in
interviews.

Oh yeah! She wasn't shy and she still had that fabulous young bod when
Paradise was made. The decision to cut some nudity was made by the
director.

Lord knows what he was thinking. The movie was so good without it?

You misspelled "several thousand other movies".

Now, they have started using cgi to add nudity. I mean, it's just weird.
The actress does a scene with her nipples taped and then they add nipples
in post-production!

That might have changed. My understanding of current MPAA guidelines is
that you can only show a bare breast from the side, briefly, without
getting an "R" for sex. I heard an actress talking about it recently,
maybe Kristin Stewart (or Pattinson even) in connection with the last
Twilight installment.

They might allow more if the breast is not shown in a sexual setting. I'm
just making that up, though.

Full frontal? Not a chance, not today.

The MPAA has *never* had firm guidelines, which is why they're so
impossible to deal with. They look at something, find it offensive (or
permissible) for unfathomable reasons, rule, and you bribe or sue them.

And the reverse. The remake of ROLLERBALL decided to go from R to PG
and had a 'nipple removal' team working on it.

You know, I've been thinking about a new career . . . .

[Michael Black]

That must have hurt.

Just how do those rating panels of the MPAA Classification and Ratings
Administration work? Do they have a list of PTAs around the country,
choose one at random, and send them a raw cut of the movie to censor?

Basically it's a variation on the old protection racket where thugs
would come by your store and you give them money so they make sure your
windows don't get broken.

You pay the MPAA money - something like $2500 to $25,000 depending on
the budget of your film - in exchange for which nobody pressures
theaters into not showing your film. They also get control over a lot
of aspects of production, like approval of your movie posters and
advertising and everything.

I'm not sure what they charge for appeals, or look again if you've made
changes. But they won't give you a hard list of changes, like 'pull the
third instance of f*ck* or remove the puppy dog from earshot when it's
said' - instead you get some arcane mention of 'too much salty language'
and then you have to cut and guess and resubmit.

I have no idea how the viewings are done these days, if the board gets
together or everybody gets a DVD and chats online or what.

Hmm. Wiki says:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_r
ating_system#MPAA_Ratings_Board

"out of all the rating systems across over 30 different countries only
the American system are the members not disclosed by the organization.
Members must sign contracted agreements that they will not disclose any
information about the MPAA to the public."

So it's sort of like the Illuminati or Freemasons too, meeting in secret
to control the world from behind the scenes.
