“Gilligan’s Island” Film In Development

Looks like Warner Bros. Pictures and Atlas Entertainment are looking to develop a feature film based on 1960s television series “Gilligan’s Island,” AKA The Original “LOST.”

Charles Roven and Richard Suckle will produce for Atlas, and Brad Copeland will write the screenplay. The original show producer Sherwood Schwartz is actually willing to executive produce along with his son, Lloyd.

Since it’s not exactly 1964 anymore, they plan to make it contemporary, and are hoping to start production next year. Once the script is complete, they’ll start searching for a director and new cast.

As someone who never really watched the show in reruns, I think this could be a good way to introduce the series to a brand-new set of potential fans. Also, as far as the new cast goes, maybe they could turn it into a reality television series. Well, as long as it doesn’t turn out like The Real Gilligan’s Island. How do you think this will turn out? More importantly, are you a Ginger, or a Mary Ann?
