I thought after the rash of TV shows to Movies over the last couple of years that maybe we were done with the genre at least for another decade. I'm afraid thats not the case as we get news today that Gilligan's Island is getting the movie treatment and none other than Micheal Cera is rumored as Gilligan. Now take that with a grain of salt, I'd like to think that Cera has better options and honestly better taste in what he does. In a more belivable rumor it is also saying that Beyonce is going to play Ginger. Now don't get me wrong, I think that some of the TV to silver screen adapts were enjoyable I've said in the podcast more than once that I liked Starskey and Hutch, but I just don't see how this will work. I mean one of the funniest things about the show was how week after week they weren't able to get off the island....how do you convey this in an hour 45? Given at least 20 min for setup before the three hour tour and 20 min for conclusion you have an hour give or take to show their repeated attempts to get off the island and that doesn't seem enough. I dont know, I have little to no hope for this but I'm sure it will make 50+ mil if it does hit the box office.
PS. Cera would certainly look the part though, wouldn't he?
