Once again Hollywood forgoes original ideas for "same old shit."
In a move that makes zero sense, Warner Bros. is moving forward with a film version of the classic 60s television show 'Gilligan's Island.' The movie will be based on a script by Josh Gad, Benji Samit, and Dan Hernandez. Gad is also set to star.
I love Gad. He was great in 21 and has certainly seen his stock rise over the last couple years. But this is just an awful idea. This is a television show that's almost half a decade old. Does anyone really think this could possibly be successful? Yeah it's a standard in pop culture, but I never liked the show when it was on and I doubt I'll like the big screen version either. How could this possibly have mass appeal to anyone under 40?
I sincerely hope this film sinks like the S.S. Minnow before it hits theaters.
