Gilligan’s Island star Dawn Wells says she’s concerned about Hollywood doing a big-screen remake of the 1960s sitcom classic.
"I have a little apprehension," Wells told Fox411. "Hopefully the integrity of the characters and the legacy that we have enjoyed for 47 years will stay. We were the surrogate family to an awful lot of folks. It is very important we don’t destroy that."
As for casting the role of Mary Ann, who Dawn played from 1964-1967, she says, "Mary Ann is a real tough one, but I think Drew Barrymore could do it beautifully – she has that sweet face.”
She adds, "Mary Ann is a good girl. She was a virgin, so casting now is going to be difficult. I don’t know where they are going to go with it, are they going to make it current or retroactive to what we were like? I don’t know what their vision is, I am very anxious to meet the new producers and the writers.”
