Sherwood Schwartz has been talking about a big-screen “Gilligan’s Island” movie for decades. I remember interviewing Richard Donner (who directed the TV show and hoped at the time to produce the feature) about it more than two decades ago!
In its latest bid, Warner Bros. has just hired Brad Copeland (“Arrested Development,” “Wild Hogs”) to pen a version that would shipwreck sailors, millionaires, a movie star and a man of science in the cinema.
Was “Gilligan’s Island” so great that it doesn’t deserve the guy who wrote “Wild Hogs”? I’m not entirely certain! What does this clip tell us?:
