I don’t think Michael Sera works as Gilligan at all. Gilligan was a lovable idiot. Sera may be lovable, but he doesn’t come across as an idiot. I thought of Jonah Hill, the fat guy from Superbad. He doesn’t look like Bob Denver, but I think he could give the same vibe.

I second the suggestions of Kelsey Grammer for the Thurston Howell and Ginnfer Goodwin for MaryAnn. Maybe Ed O’Neill for the Skipper?

I don’t know why I’m putting any thought into dream-casting this awful idea of a movie.

David Ogden Stiers as Thurston Howell III
Chelsea Handler as Lovey Howell
Bruce Campbell as The Professor
Miley Cyrus as Mary Ann
Billy Ray Cyrus as The Skipper
Danny Bonaduce as Gilligan
Kirstie Alley as Ginger

Now, THAT’s a movie I’d pay money to see.

Well, another $12.50 Hollywood won’t be pilfering from me. The only way this could be even remotely interesting is if the castaways devolve into cannibalism.

IMHO the only good thing about this show was the awesomely funny Jim Backus.

I met Sherwood Schwartz once, and I don’t know what this means, but the Island is just Hurley’s dream.

I’ve got to say it…
I’m sure he’s on the short list…
Shia LaBeouf as Gilligan.

And I second Christina Hendricks as Ginger.

I hope that when the movie is released, someone will collect the three made-for-TV movies on DVD.

The only person who should even be considered for Ginger is Christina Hendricks from MAD MEN. She’s the only current actress with enough va-va-va-voom. ^_^

I like the idea of Cera as Gilligan.
And like David TG Riches says, Ginger could be Pamela Anderson
My other picks:
Professor: Simon Baker (Mentalist)
Marianne: Jennifer Love Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer)
Thurston Howell: Colin Farrell
Mrs Howell: Joan Collins
Skipper: Brian Dennehy

A film like this could actually be good, if their time on the island is confined to a relatively small window. They’re stranded on the island for a week … or a month. It could be interesting to see how these different personalities dislike each other, then gradually become friends as they work together to leave the island.

Perhaps the Howells are considering bankrolling a cheap B-movie, and Ginger is trying to cury favor to appear in it?

I don’t know what’s scarier: that they’re making this movie, or that these commenters have put so much thought into it.
