  • Gilligan's Island, the movie

    moved in from the script deals section... because i'm already tired of the oscar talk:

    Sherwood Schwartz, age 94, executive producing a new Gilligan's Island movie! http://www.variety.com/article/VR111...goryid=13&cs=1

    i say it's about time LOL!
    ok well, i can really see the article but i thought it would be fun for peeps to do their casting choices. i see michael cera for gilligan - good choice. but if you have one you like better..

    my pics:
    gilligan - michael cera
    skipper - jack black or samuel jackson
    professor - steve carell
    maryann
    ginger - see below, i like that suggestion
    mr howell - steve martin
    mrs howell - jane fonda

    unfortunately, i don't know the names of many young actors lol!

    from anothercaucasianguy:
    I think it would be cool if "Ginger The Movie Star" was an actress playing themselves in a self-depricating role remnescent of the show Extras.

    Come to think of it, Gervais would make for an excellant Mr. Howell.

    I love Steve Carell but I don't think he fits the Professor's part well. The Professor was always kinda a serious guy and was never really funny. If Carell got that part he would most definitely make it funny and it would then not be The Professor.

    I can agree with the rest of your list although I'm sorta sick of Michael Cera.

    Maryann - I'm thinking someone like Rachael McCadams/Kristen Bell.
    Joan: What does the "T" stand for?
    Jack: Trustworthy.

        wrong analogy - the stepford wives was a movie. it was charlie's angels that got messed up.

          Point taken. I'm just talking remakes in general.

          But doing apples to apples - Bewitched. Ugh.

          (And I'm surprised they haven't done Mork & Mindy yet.)

            I always thought Justin Long would make a very good Gilligan.

            I think Steve Martin is a good pick as Mr Howell though.

              What?!! And replace the irreplaceable Robin Williams? Sh*t, just how much would the new guy need?
