New Gilligan's Island movie Josh Gad as?

[Zoneboy]

I love Betty White as much as anyone but I think she's too old for the part. Other than Helen Mirren my choices for Lovey would be....

Ruta Lee, she's 78 but I think she could do it

The following all turn 64 this year, the same age Natalie was when she started the show. Perhaps one of them would be good for the part?

Hope Tina or Dawn make a cameo in the remake. Both are still acting.
Tina recently jump-started her acting career after a 10 year hiatus. She has a new movie coming out and will shoot another one next month....meanwhile Dawn is doing theater and teaching acting classes.

If we're going by appearance I always thought that Jim Caviezel at least facially looks like Bob Denver but in terms of physicality Jay Baruchel from Tropic Thunder and Knocked Up is scrawny enough to play Gilligan.

If a GI movie had been done in the 90's then Robert Hayes would've made a perfect Professor.

Josh Gad, who’s currently writing the big-screen adaptation, tells MTV News: "“You would be remiss not to at least touch upon that in the movie. And I’ll leave it at that.”

Or a distant longshot, Ginger.
Who do you think he'll be?

Warner Bros Sets ‘Gilligan’s Island’ As Star Feature Vehicle For Josh Gad

Gilligan's Island Movie Josh GadEXCLUSIVE: Remember Gilligan’s Island, the venerable 1960s TV series about seven castaways who wind up stranded on a tropical island after a torrential storm shipwrecks their yacht The S.S. Minnow? Warner Bros is charting a course for a feature film based on the series. It will be fashioned as a star vessel for Book Of Mormon‘s Josh Gad. Gad, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez will write the script. Lloyd Schwartz, Ross Schwartz, Tracey Silvers and Cathy Silvers will be executive producers. They’re not saying what character Gad would play, but the title character seems a possibility, though he could conceivably play The Skipper.

joshgadThe original series with the catchy theme song was created by Sherwood Schwartz, and starred Bob Denver as Gilligan, Alan Hale Jr as Skipper, Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer as Thurston and Lovey Howell, Dawn Wells as Mary Ann, and Tina Louise as Ginger. A three-hour charter boat tour from Honolulu turned into a three-season stay on CBS and three follow-up telepics as the marooned shipmates thrived in syndication with the family audience.

Gad is separately the choice to play manic stand-up comedian Sam Kinison in Kinison, a biopic that will be directed by Borat helmer Larry Charles and produced by David Permut from a script by Rich Wilkes. The movie package was put together by ICM Partners. Gad’s managed by Brillstein and lawyered by Ziffren Brittenham.

I really can't imagine me even wanting to go see this movie. And if they make the Professor character gay, then there is NO WAY I will be going to see it. What even is the reason they want to make him gay? Because he didn't chase the women on the series? That was done on purpose, as was stopping any idea of any romances going on in the show!

If they do make this movie, the only character that should even be considered to play the Professor is Simon Baker. If you Google Russell Johnson, they have quite a few side by side pictures of the two, and it's scary how much these two look alike! There are even crazy websites out there asking if Simon Baker is Russell Johnson's son? lol

Again, not interested in this movie at all; prefer to continue to love the Gilligan Island reruns and the characters that we all grew to love on the original show!
