For those fans of America’s favorite pleasure-cruisers-turned-castaways, the New York Daily News is reporting that a movie treatment of the beloved show Gilligan’s Island is in the works — though there are not many details right now to report.
Who’s going to play the title character? Michael Cera, he most recently of “Superbad” and “Juno” fame, has reportedly agreed to play the hapless first mate of the ill-fated S.S. Minnow.
No word yet on casting choices for the Skipper and the Professor, but the original creators of the TV series are also involved in the film and are reportedly trying to tempt Beyonce Knowles to take on the role of Ginger.
So I suppose this is one “travel movie” we can expect to see sooner rather than later.
