Title: Blue Lagoon: The Awakening Year: 2012 Director: Mikael Salomon Network: Lifetime (Television Film) Genre: Romantic Drama / Adventure / Young Adult Synopsis Blue Lagoon: The Awakening is a modern reimagining of Henry De Vere Stacpoole's classic 1908 novel The Blue Lagoon , which was famously adapted into the 1980 film starring Brooke Shields. This 2012 version updates the setting from the Victorian era to a contemporary high school backdrop.
The story follows two high school students, Emma (Indiana Evans) and Dean (Brenton Thwaites), who are complete opposites. Emma is an overachiever and the "perfect student" under pressure from her overbearing father, while Dean is a charming but directionless troublemaker. During a class trip to Trinidad for a humanitarian project, they defy their chaperones to go on a nighttime boat ride. A sudden storm causes them to be swept overboard, and they wash ashore on a remote, uninhabited island. danlwd fylm Blue Lagoon The Awakening 2012 bdwn sanswr
