There is even more proof that Hollywood hates us because Warner Bros is turning Gilligan’s Island into a feature movie. According to Variety, the movie is in the writing stage and they are hoping to start production next year after the script is complete. Brad Copeland, who is writing the screenplay has also worked on Flight of the Navigator, Wild Hogs, Monster Squad, Yogi Bear, Arrested Development and My Name Is Earl. The only thing that might give me the slightest bit of hope is Sherwood Schwartz and his son LLoyd gave the movie their blessing, but maybe they said yes because they could make money off of it.
Let’s be real minus The Brady Bunch and Charlie Angel’s movies, what TV show has actually worked on the big screen? Miami Vice? Starsky and Hutch? The A-Team? And knowing Hollywood they will wind up casting either Zac Efron or Shia LaBeouf as Gilligan. Although I could see Val Kilmer as The Skipper, but that is do to stature.
Seriously when will Hollywood stop torturing us with these sh!tty remakes?
