Gilligan's Island The Movie? - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 03-03-2010, 01:49 PM

Warner Brothers is planning a Gilligan's Island movie. Now grew up watching Gilligan and thought it was great. Of course I was under 10, so I doubt it would interest me in any way at this point.

In late-2008, we told you that Sherwood Schwartz and his son Lloyd Schwartz had signed a deal to bring Gilligan’s Island to the big screen.But we haven’t really heard anything about the big screen adaptation for over a year, until now. Variety reports that Warner Bros is developing the feature film with Atlas Entertainment. Charles Roven and Richard Suckle are on board to produce, and screenwriter Brad Copeland has been hired to write the screenplay.

Copeland has a background in television, breaking in as a staff writer on News Radio, and moving on to Arrested Development, Grounded For Life and My Name is Earl. Not a bad resume, until you get to his lone film credit — Wild Hogs… ugh. He also wrote the upcoming Yogi Bear film, and is penning the Flight of the Navigator remake. Roven produced Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Get Smart, and The International.

Depends who they get to play Ginger and Mary Ann! Mary Ann was my favorite on the TV series.

Saw this on AICN this morning. I'm very much AGAINST the idea. We will see.

Scooby Blu · 03-03-2010, 01:54 PM

no new ideas in Hollywood I guess!

DetroitSportsFan · 03-03-2010, 02:02 PM

Sigh. Sure, why not.

What a bright future we have waiting for us. Can't wait till My Three Sons get the Hollywood treatment.

I wish Hollywood would stop butchering original movies and tv shows with remakes

Steve · 03-03-2010, 03:59 PM

The made The Addams Family several years ago. I'm surprised it's taken them this long to get around to any of the other shows.

I think they should redo "Starsky and Hutch" or "The Brady Bunch". Whoops, wait a minute...

Actualy with all this 80's revival Hollywood seem to be in these days I am very surprise we haven't see movies about The Facts Of Life, Family Ties, Cosby Show, Cheers......

Years ago, movies were based on books -- or at least written by people who grew up reading books.

In recent years we've had tons of movies based on sit-coms, toys, cartoons and rides at Disneyland.

If those are the influences for most current screenwriters . . . enough said.

Actually, most of the vintage-rerun movies STARTED in the Retro-boom rerun-marketing renaissance dating back to Nick at Nite's first appearance in the late 80's, and have been laying around studio vaults for 25 years.
(QV. the "Honeymooners" movie, which was supposed to be a bit of Paramount marketing, before laying around, gathering dust, and finally being garage-saled off to that urban-black-comedy thing.)

In this case, Sherwood Schwartz (now 94) is in retirement, and had spent most of the late 80's and mid 90's trying to make licensing money off every conceivable repackaging of Gilligan and the Bradys.
The Movie probably dates back ten or fifteen years ago to when he had the Gilligan's musical on Broadway.

You are so right! I grew up reading Lord Of The Rings. In grade school I really thought I lived in Middle Earth!!! What an imagination I had back then, wish I could go back there now!!!
