A 1970s television classic is getting a revival over at Amazon Studios. The premium entertainment service announced that Sid and Marty Kroft are teaming up with the company to produce a TV reboot of “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.”
“We also look forward to reviving the classic ‘Sigmund and the Sea Monsters’ that has a strong message of friendship,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios.
The original “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters” was a live-action children’s show that ran for two seasons from 1973 to 1975. The new version follows the same premise of two brothers, Johnny and Scotty, who befriend Sigmund, a friendly young sea-monster who escapes from his old life and his comically dysfunctional brothers Slurp and Blurp, and hide him in their Clubhouse. The new version adds their cousin Robyn and Captain Barnabas, an ambitious sea-monster hunter portrayed by David Arquette.

The Writers Guild of America has just announced the nominations for their annual awards for Best Screenplays (by writers who are guild signatories). That’s right, before you get nervous thinking that your favorite may have been left off the list, you must remember that the WGA is the group that is not all-inclusive and leaves out several of the top contenders each year due to them not being part of the guild or not following their very specific rules. For this reason, you won’t see Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Ex Machina in the Original Screenplay category or Room, Brooklyn, or Anomalisa in the Adapted screenplay category.
Taking a look at what’s left over for the nominations, we find many that were expected to make a showing, including Spotlight and Bridge of Spies for Original Screenplay, though they apparently had to sink to really low depths...
