Rueben's Ramblings

On June 16, the Lifetime movie Blue Lagoon: The Awakening will debut at 8 PM.

Overachieving high school student Emma Robinson (newcomer Indiana Evans) and slacker Dean McMullen (newcomer Brenton Thwaites) find themselves on the same class trip to Trinidad. Though they have little in common, Emma and Dean attend a wild party on a boat, and when Emma falls overboard during a police raid, Dean jumps in to save her. The pair drifts in a motorless dinghy until they end up stranded on a deserted island. While their parents desperately search for them, Emma and Dean are forced to rely on each other for survival, and the more time they spend together the more they realize their attraction to one another. Despite their differences, they eventually create a bond between themselves. But as days on the island become weeks and then months, Emma and Dean wonder if they’ll ever be rescued or if their life on the Blue Lagoon will last forever.

Denise Richards appears as Emma’s mother Barbara and Christopher Atkins (from the original movie) appears as Mr. Christiansen, a high school teacher who helps in the search for Emma and Dean.

Here is the trailer for Blue Lagoon: The Awakening.
