Mr. Howell ...................... Elliott Gould
Mrs. Howell ..................... Betty White
Ginger .......................... Christina Hendricks
Mary Ann ........................ Mila Kunis
The Professor ................... Stephen Colbert

[pokerfan]

7. Yikes

:puke:

[Xipe Totec]

8. Relax, they never get off the island

Think about it.

[pokerfan]

15. That's a fair point.

But didn't they get rescued eventually? Not during the series run but in one of the TV movies?

[MissMillie]

34. this is ingenious

:thumbsup:

[baldguy]

10. Can we forget about the "Gilligan's Island" premise and just strand them on a deserted island?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

19. DUzy!

[Kali]

16. ewwww

the island as a superfund site

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. ...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. Oh come on...Gilligan may be a simpleton; but he isn't evil.

Besides, poor Obama would go insane before the third episode was ever made! :rofl:

[old mark]

23. I just thought W would look great in that sailor hat, with that little

chimp smirk, running around doing dumb shit and breaking stuff.....just like real life, if you think about it.....

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. I have to admit...

especially if the local cannibals got him. ;-)

[old mark]

31. In a big ol' iron pot.....smirk, Chimpy!!!!! nt

[underpants]

3. Christina Hendricks

WOW

[proteus_lives]

9. I second that WOW.

And raise you a ZOWIE!

[NewJeffCT]

43. Great pick as Ginger

and, Mila Kunis would be a good MaryAnn as well

[rcrush]

5. Lost totally ripped off Gilligans Island.

[Richardo]

11. John Hodgman as the Professor

[pokerfan]

13. Yeah, Hodgman would be good

Justin Long as Gilligan?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

12. No one

I'm not in favor of ruining classics like this. Classics transferred to the big screen several years after the event rarely are very good.

Movie producers need to come up with new ideas instead of ruining old ones

[pokerfan]

14. Well, obviously

all the good ideas have already been taken. There really is nothing left. Every conceivable plot has already been conceived. Every story remade, rebooted, adapted, re-invented, re-imagined, reinterpreted, stolen, sequel-ed and turned into trilogies, quadrilogies, double trilogies or franchises that keep on going...

How about a Gilligan's only we strand them on the Moon or something? With chimpanzees. Lots of chimps because chimpanzees are funny...

[Bucky]

37. Sigh. You just don't like people having fun, do you?

[Quantess]

17. Lindsay Lohan as Ginger

The rest of the casting looks perfect.

[GoCubsGo]

29. That's who I was thinking, too...

But, first she needs to start eating. Right now, she's too skinny to play Ginger. Ginger is voluptuous. Lindsay is anorexic. I really wish she'd get her head on straight. She was quite a good actress in her younger days. Now, she's nothing but a screwed-up freak show. Damn shame.

[AllenVanAllen]

18. That list is brilliant.

As far a TV to movie casts go. :hi:

[MiddleFingerMom]

21. Let's not forget the "other" crew.

.
... ...Mary Ann's & Ginger's Fluffer............................ MiddleFingerMom.
.

.

[MiddleFingerMom]

22. OK, OK... Mrs. Howell, too... but we're talkin' MORE than scale here, right? n/t

[JonLP24]

24. Mila Kunis and Gilligan's Island reminds me of an episode of That 70's Show

Red Foreman watching an episode of that show said "Awwww... Gilligan screwed it up. - Why don't they just kill him?" :rofl:

[MadBadger]

25. Spot on with Christina Hendricks

[Steerpike]

26. My Gilligan Cast

Gilligan Justin Long

The Skipper Brenden Gleeson

Ginger Kristen Bell

Mary Ann Janeane Garofalo

The Professor Simon Baker

Thurston Howell III Ving Rames

Lubby Howell Jennifer Hudson

[nuxvomica]

27. Brendan Gleeson is a brilliant choice

I was thinking Philip Seymour Hoffman for the Skipper but Gleeson would be perfect. I like your choices but I'd pick Ralph Fiennes for the professor.

[Steerpike]

30. I like the way they fit as actors and their looks

Gillligan

The Skipper

Ginger

Mary Ann

The Professor

Thurston Howell III

Mrs. Howell

[LNM]

35. Mary Ann with tats?

She could never go home like that.

[Steerpike]

41. Think out of the box!

This is the 21st century Mary Ann!

[edbermac]

32. I'm thinking of an all female cast called Gillian's Island.

That would be sooooo hawt! :evilgrin:

[Steerpike]

33. Already done!

It's in the porno section of your neighborhood xxx Theatre!

[gatorboy]

38. Does the smoke monster kill them in the end?

Pretty please?

[Deep13]

39. Everyone I like is probably too old.

Gilligan--no idea

Skipper--Jason Alexander

Mr. Howell--Christopher Walken

Mrs. Howell--Helen Mirren

Ginger--Julianne Moore

Mary Ann--Maggie Gyllanhall

The Professor--William Petersen

[geardaddy]

40. A "Curb Your Gilligan's Island"

Gilligan ........................ Larry David
Skipper ......................... Susie Essman
Mr. Howell ...................... Ted Danson
Mrs. Howell ..................... Mary Steenburgen
Ginger .......................... Wanda Sykes
Mary Ann ........................ Gina Gershon
The Professor ................... Richard Lewis

[krispos42]

42. Joel Hodges as the Professor, and Jeanane Garafalo as Mary Ann.

Mila Kunis is too short and the Professor was really smart, not fake-smart like Colbert's characters are.

Hmmm.. Jeanane might be too smart for the roll, though. Maybe Courtney Cox?
