Blue Lagoon remake provides Maui jobs, hotel stays
WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) — Maui officials are touting a remake of a 1980 movie largely filmed on the island as providing jobs and boosting the local economy.
“The Blue Lagoon” will air Saturday on the Lifetime Network.
County officials say more than 30 Maui residents were hired to work as crew members with jobs including electrical work, set safety and stunt coordinators. During filming in May and earlier this month, actors and crew members stayed at local hotels, providing more than 450 room nights in South Maui.
A large portion of the movie was filmed at various locations from Makena to Paia to Twin Falls.
Christopher Atkins and Brooke Shields starred in the original version as a boy and girl marooned on a tropical island who grow up and fall in love.
