The popular 60’s sitcom Gilligan’s Island is set to hit the big screen.
The studio and production company have begun development on a feature film based on the iconic CBS sitcom, which generated solid ratings during its three seasons between 1964 and 1967 and then found something close to eternal life in syndication. [Variety]
Producer Charles Roven is excited about the project. He told Variety: “The characters are so good. We think it’s going to be a great story to transport these cultural icons to the modern day,”
I disagree. I don’t even want to see these characters converted into modern day characters. Will the men have cell phones and the women fake boobs? It’s just not meant to be “modernized”. I am really getting tired of Hollywood remaking everything! As you know, I have been ranting about this subject a lot lately. Damn near every day you hear of another upcoming remake that will never touch the original.
Sorry guys, but there is no substitute for the original cast. You can’t redo a classic.
