@marinelife I thought the same two people you had for Gilligan and the Professor
only the professor has to be a little more buff so I thought James Marsters
Eric Stonestreet as the Captain

Gilligan’s Island Morphs the 7 Dwarfs
Dopey as Gilligan.
Grumpy as the Skipper
Doc as the Professor
Happy as Thurston Howell
Sleezy as Ginger
Bashful as Mary Anne
Sleepy as Lovey Howell

Gilligan: Adam Sandler

Skipper: John Goodman

Professor: David McCallum

Thurston Howell: David Hyde Pierce

Lovey Howell: Jessica Simpson

Ginger: Angelina Jolie

Mary Anne: Anne Hathaway

Some amazing stuff here.

@marinelife, I can’t see Aston Kusher as Gilligan – he’s just too full of himself. But Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore – brilliant.

@Kardamom I love Sandler as Gilligan. And John Goodman as the skipper makes me smile just thinking about it. David Hyde Pierce is perfect. I don’t know about Jolie. Are there really enough people on the island for her to kill?

Mary Anne: a chimp
Ginger: Rosie O’Donnell
Professor: Danny Devito
Skipper: Ozzie Osborne
Gilligan: Jerry Seinfield

You guys ever hear the Hell theory about Gilligan’s Island?

Gilligan – Kevin McHale Glee
Skipper – Kevin James
Professor – Jerry Stiller
Ginger – Alyssa Milano
Maryanne – Monica Dawson
Mr. Howell – Harold Sylvester
Mrs. Howell – Lucy Lui
I think that would be a hoot!

As long as I’m casting, I’d shake it up a little:
Skipper – Dawn French
Gilligan – Amy Sedaris
Ginger – Anna Faris
Maryanne – Zooey Deschanel
Professor – Michael C. Hall
Lovey Howell – Laura Linney
Thurston Howell – Alec Baldwin

Robert De Niro as The Skipper
Russell Brand as Gilligan
Kate Beckinsale as Ginger
Mila Kunis as Maryanne
Warren Beatty as Mr Howell
Helen Mirren as Mrs Howell
Jason Statham as the Professor
Oh, and it would be a gritty, dark comedy, reboot.

Frank Woodley as Gilligan (Frank plays the guitar)
Christina Hendricks as Ginger
Jack Nicholson as the The Skipper
Natalie Portman as Maryanne
Bill Nighy as Mr Howell
Betty White as Mrs Howell
Stephen Fry as The Professor

Jack Nicohlson as the Skipper… and the rest of the castaways spend their days wondering if he foundered on purpose…

He would certainly create a stir… :-)

“The Minnow”

They will be lost…on an island.

In this darker updated version, the shipwrecked passengers of the S.S. Minnow, and their distraught emotions, are seen and told through the eyes off the chartering marine Professor as he secretly plans their escape from a remote uninhabited island, he eventually being alone at sea, risking his life…and love… trying to find farther hope.

Jay Baruchel as Gilligan
Stellan Skarsgard as Skipper
John Cusack as the Professor
Anna Kendrick as Mary Ann
Winona Ryder as Ginger
David Strathairn as Mr. Howell
Meryl Streep as Mrs. Howell
