It was announced in two of my favorite magazines that Warner Bros. just greenlit a movie remake of Gilligan's Island. I used to watch re-runs of this show everyday while on summer vacation in NYC (circa 1985-1990). I remember rooting for the castaways while watching each episode. Maybe this is why I am so into LOST.Entertainment Weekly and People Magazine both have articles about who should be cast in the film. I thought it would be fun to make a list of my fantasy picks:
Gilligan: Justin Long (Michael Cera is too obvious)
Skipper: James Gadolfini (I think he has hidden comedic talent)
Thurston Howell, III: Sean Connery (he'd steal the movie!)
Lovey Howell: Betty White (I'm loving this Golden Girl's renaissance!)
Ginger: Kate Walsh (the hair, the shape, the sultry glare)
Mary Anne: Zooey Deschanel (she has the wide-eyed innocence that masks a inner wild child)
The Professor: James Denton (he proves he is a fix-it man on Desperate Housewives)
Who would you cast?

I'd like to see Chris Rock as Gilligan. I have no idea why but that is what popped into my head when you said they were making a movie.
I bet it would be FUNNY LOL.
I like James Gandolfini as Skipper!
Chris Rock as Gilligan...genius casting choice!
you should cast for a living! great picks!
Personally, I would like to star in the THE NOTEBOOK with George Clooney.
A girls GOT to dream.
I loved Gilligan's Island as a kid, but I'm not sure if the world is ready for a modern Gilligan. I'm betting it'll be one of those movies that is either great or a flop, no in between.
I've probably seen every episode of Gilligan there is. I love the other commenter's suggestion of Chris Rock. Genius. And Zooey Deschanel as MaryAnne-perfect!
Happy SITS Day. Love this post.
