    Cast Gilligan's Island
    Let's make the cast Gilligan's Island thread official. Mr. Peabody and I have been playing with this idea on another thread, but let's bring this game up to the forefront.

    If a Gilligan's Island revival movie were to be made, who should it star? So far our suggestions are:

    The Skipper: Jim Belushi

    Gilligan: David Spade

    The Professor: Larry King (?!), Ralph Fiennes

    Mary Ann: Natalie Portman

    Ginger: No suggestions yet

    Mr. Howell: Eugene Levy, George Clooney

    Mrs. Howell: Barbara Walters

    So, who would you like to see in this movie? Agree with the above suggestions or make a suggestion of your own.

    Rich may be on to something given the lackluster performance of TV-to-Movie adaptations. I suspect the casting could only be accomplished by using B-List/has-ben actors.I propose:

    Skipper: Randy Quaid

    Gilligan: Rob Schneider

    The Professor: Adrian Pasdar

    Mary Ann: Eva Longoria

    Ginger: Charlize Theron

    Mr Howell: Chevy Chase

    Mrs. Howell: Goldie Hawn

    hhhmm....I might even consider seeing this myself if there were enough "spiritual reinforcements" available.

    I would love to see Chevy Chase & Goldie Hawn as the Howells.

    How about

    Gilligan - Jim Carrey
    The Skipper - Jim Carrey
    The Professor - Jim Carrey
    Mary Ann - Jim Carrey
    Ginger - Jim Carrey
    Thurston Howell III - Jim Carrey
    Mrs. Howell - Dame Judi Dench

    Good laughs. Y'know, with today's technology that's not entirely out of the question.

    Actually, if we're going through with such an idea, how's about getting Robin Williams back on the Peruvian flake to play all parts. Can you imagine watching Dame Judi's reaction--hilarious.

    For Gilligan I thought of Ashton Kutcher.

    How about Sandra Bullock as Mary Ann? An excellent Ginger maybe 20 years ago would have been Sophia Loren. Well I guess if we are in the way back machine, Ann Margaret would have to be in the running, but since we are talking about making the movie today, strike that last comment from the record.

    Eddie Murphy and Wanda Sikes as the Howell's, now that would be a gas!

    Kid, that's a pretty good cast. I like Steve Martin better as Mr. Howell and Rick Morantis would be a great professor. Unless we wanted to use the professor from the Back To The Future series.

    Mr. P

    Thanks, unfortunately if you tried to put this cast togehter you could not afford half of them and the other half probably would not agree to do the film. Jim Carrey might be little long in the tooth for Gilligan so if you want substitute Justin Long ( Justin-in the movie Dodge Ball)
