nobody should play a role in a Gilligan movie. It would be horrible if they made one. It would be worse then the Real Gilligan's Island. I would hate seeing a Gilligan movie so much

I agree. It would never be the same!

I agree too.It could never be the same.The cast that Sherwood Schwartz chose had a unique chemistry.I just can't see any actors or actresses to do the part perfectly.I don't know why they have to remake everything today.Just look how they messed up the remake of other shows,it's horrible

ditto, nobody could create that same chemistry. I don't think anybody could act out the Skipper or Gilligan quite like Alan Hale and Bob Denver. And if they were to do a remake today, it wouldn't have that same innocent family fun comedy. They'd try to add some not-so-nice-language, maybe some lewd humor, and sex. Thats not what Gilligan's Island was about. A remake would have to be scandalous. Just my opinion.

As much as I love GI, it belongs to a certain time, a certain place, and those 7 people----to re-do it would fall flat flat flat.

I don't get how somebody could ever think of making a Gilligan movie. The idea is just terrible

UNlesd Gary Marshall, Ron Howard, or one of GI's surviving directors or one of Sherwood'sa BRAYD directors (Peter Baldwin,etc.) was behind it.Or you or I (or anyoine else here.)

We'D keep i afloat..(but what COULD you do with yert ANOTHER fulkl lebgth story even if ya DID keep ikt clean would be another thing..this WAS meant to be 30 minutes long..and then there's the question of casting, as noted.:!_)

Wait a minute! I think the best way to make a movie of Gilligan's Island is to make it very very badly. On purpose. This way you preserve the integrity of the original show AND you can enjoy the new product with no guilt at all!

Here's my cast...

Gilligan: Ben Stiller
Skipper: Randy Quaid
Mr. Howell: Eddie Murphy
Mrs. Howell: Whoopie Goldberg
Ginger: Pamela Anderson
Professor: Tim Allen
Mary Ann: Ellen Degeneres

It could be a beautiful thing!

SpunkiiMonkii7078 · 04-10-2005, 08:51 PM

That could be really REALLY funny

I'm laughing right now at the thought... Ben Stiller as Gilligan, hmmm?!

Jessica

dontwc · 04-10-2005, 09:02 PM

Did you see Stiller as Eric Zoolander? Oh yeah. It's doable...

And Tim Allen would be an overeager professor who always thinks the island needs "more power". Can you make a nuclear reactor out of clam shells and the radium dial on Mr. Howel's old watch?

Munsters#1 · 04-11-2005, 07:11 AM

How about John Goodman as The Skipper?

dontwc · 04-11-2005, 08:13 PM

I thought John Goodman was too obvious. I was going for wierd, which is why the Pam Anderson/Ellen Degeneres duo. And Randy Quaid is WEIRD...

ph1l · 04-19-2005, 05:13 AM

Just to prove you shouldn't mess with a classic, how about the Drew Carey gang.
