Looks like they are going ahead with it and threads havebeen popping up on other sites for cast suggestions...so I figure let's get a DISboards one going1
love Gilligan's Island so I wil be pretty picky on cast, yet I know that many "Big Names " will be out,,,such as Sandra Bullock for Mary Ann...saw her mentioned on another site, but being a new oscar winner, well,.....so here are some of my thoughts, I am still thinking on all the cast:
Mrs. Howell: Barbara Eden, Kim Cattrall, Bonnie Hunt

Mr. Howell: Kelsey Grammer, Michael Caine Gene Hackman, Michael Douglas

Professor: Jason Bateman, Neil Patrick Harris,

Skipper ( many say John Goodman) btu I like Jim Belushi

Mary Ann: Jennifer Gardner, Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway

Ginger: Megan Fox, Scarlett Johanssen, some say Beyonce',

and Gilligan: Jesse Eisneberg, Shia LaBouff I heard is a possibility

Those are off the top of my head who I like, but sure there are MANY who would make this a great comedy...let's hear from all those creative minds!
 
I don't really have any suggestions but I would love to see Sandra Bullock as MaryAnne.

I don't think her Oscar win is going to go to her head. She strikes me as the type to do a movie because she thinks it'll be a good fit for her. I could see her accepting the role.
 
I could see it too, but not too sure what her agent , etc would try to persuade her to do..but she was hilarious in Miss Congeniality..and they would sure have to findone awesome Ginger to equal Sandra Bullock!
 
Mrs. Howell Barbara Eden, Betty White

Mr. Howell. James Gardner, Bob Newhart

Skipper, John Goodman, Mark Addy, Jim Belusi

Gilligan, Neil Patrick Harris, ANy of the guys of how Big Bang Theory, even though he would be a older Gilligan, I can see Robin Williams in this part

Professor, Patrick Dempsey,

Mary Ann, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Beal

Ginger, Megan Fox Jessica Alba
 

good ones...I just hope they stay "true" to the orig characters, it would really be a disappointment to not be able to relate to it.
Big Bang Theory cast, lol...they aren't going to be too type cast, eh? I remember the the reall professor, forget his actual name, but he said how his career was stagnant because he was only thought of as the professor and no other roles.
 
Here is a list that someone posted at another board I go to

Gilligan - Jim Carrey, Martin Short, Rick Moranis,
Steve Burns, Jamie Kennedy, Adam Sandler
Skipper - Brian Dennehy
Thurston - Leslie Nielson, Donald Trump, Hugh Heffner,
John Laroquette
Mrs. Howell - Betty White, Goldie Hawn, Rue McClanahan,
Lynn Redgrave
Ginger - Michelle Pfeiffer, Geena Davis, Loni Anderson,
Jennifer Aniston,
Professor - Robert Hayes, Richard Dryfuss, Rick Moranis,
Jack Wagner
Mary Ann - Demi Moore, Sandra Bullock, Pam Dawber,
Julia Louis Dreyfus, Yasmine Bleeth

I used to have a crush on the Professor LOL

I think Steve Carrol sp?? wouild make a good professor
 
oh, that made me think of *Pam* from the office, another Mary Ann possibility, has that girl next door thing.
 
Speaking of old shows to make into movies, I wish they would make Dallas into a movie I think they were going to but I think it must have been scraped
 
I like Kelsey Grammar as Mr. Howell. That's a good one! Dan Aykroyd could be good, too!

Skipper: John Goodman, Brian Denehy, Jim Belushi, (Dom DeLuise would have been awesome!)

Mrs. Howell: Maggie Smith, Betty White, Annette Benning, Anjelica Huston, Julianne Moore

Professor: Tim Curry, Chevy Chase, Matthew McFadyen

Gilligan: Edward Norton, Andy Samberg

Marianne: Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock

Ginger: Beyonce or starlet du jour.....*shrug*
