New Gilligan's Island Movie
Posted by Andrew on Friday, March 12, 2010
Rumors are spreading through the media about a re-make film of the popular 60's television series Gilligan's Island. I found different sources all having different cast for the characters. On most sources I found, the creator of Gilligan's Island Sherwood Shwartz, wants Michael Cera to play the role of Gilligan.
Other rumors say that Evangeline Lilly who plays Kate Austen on the series Lost might play the role of Mary Ann and Rachelle Lefevre, who plays a vampire Victoria in the Twilight series, may be cast for the role of Ginger.
As for the skipper, Zach Galifianakis from Hangover is rumored.
Now these are all just rumours. The role that seems most likely at this time is Michael Cera as Gilligan. All these roles seem to be filled by actors and actresses who play in films or television series aimed at a younger audience (Eg. Twilight, Superbad) I hope that this will attract younger viewers to the film and introduce them to the 60's television series that was made before their time.
I'm part of the younger audience and decided to watch it. It really was a great show!
