I maintain that Topher Grace should be Gilligan.
The premise doesn’t really lend itself to a movie, though. The whole point is that they’re marooned forever because Gilligan keeps ruining their chances. Without the repetition of his failure, what’s the point of seeing them try and fail for an hour and a half, and then never seeing them again? Unless your proposed script involves them getting off the island, in which case you’re not remaking Gilligan’s Island. I don’t know what you’re making then, other than a bland castaway movie.
It’d be as dumb as making a Sex and the City movie where they finally find true love.
Tom Hanks washes up one day.
And they eat him.
Then a polar bear shows up.
Justin Long has several movie and TV roles to his credit but is best known (in the U.S., anyway) as “Mac” in a long-running series of ads for the Apple Macintosh.
But they did that, too.
I would totally watch that. “Gilligan’s Island of Terror…IN 3-D!”
oh dear god.
There was a made-for-TV movie where Gilligan and crew DID finally leave the island and return home. I don’t remember what it was called, though.
Right, yeah. That’s the joke.
:smack: D’oh. Sorry, carry on.
It’s confirmed, then. There is a god, and he hates us.
Well, as long as Schwarz doesn’t start some kind of initiative where he distributes handguns to all the morons in the country, with instructions to force us to watch it, we might be okay.
I mean, the mere existence of the film will still be wrong*, but maybe if we’re lucky, we can avoid getting any on us.
*And I use the word “wrong” in the hyperbolically Lovecraftian sense, including unpronounceable names, unholy geometries, and colors that induce madness.
Update to my idea.
The six skeletons are dressed in different clothes, three male and three female. The diary trails off so the identity of the insane killer is just a letter G.
Ultimately the killer is revealed to be Ginger Grant, dressed up like Gilligan, her first victim, who she thinks is talking to her.
