Sherwood Schwartz, creator of
The Brady Bunch, and his son Lloyd Schwartz are finally moving ahead on a big screen version of
Gilligan's Island, a 1969 sitcom which the legendary producer also created. And if the two Schwartzs have it their way, Michael Cera will be slipping into that famous red shirt and white hat as Gilligan. They are also currently trying to nab Beyonce as sexy movie star Ginger.
Speaking with
Tv Guide during his induction into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Sherwood explained that a deal, "Just happened in the last 48 hours. I can't take this much excitement at my age." Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on the hit series, likes the idea of Beyonce playing Ginger and stated, "There isn't anybody sexier than Beyonce!"
The
Gilligan's Island movie doesn't have a set start date at this time, and no actors have been signed just yet. You can expect to hear more on this project in the very near future.

...Uhh...wait a minute....
Oh please, this is a very bad idea and who the hell is Michael Cera I've never heard of him but have heard of Beyonce. Not a fan of hers but who is.
If this takes Beyonce out of that Wonder Woman delusion, I won't mind a bit, even though the original Ginger is white. However, TV to Movie adaptions have liberties to shake things up. I'm cool with that, but I'm not sure that I'll see this in theaters.
