Yet another old TV show to be resurrected as a movie – yet this comes with a new twist – as the Gilligan’s Island castaways are LOST!
Naturally the story basically remains the same as explained in the classic karaoke drunkable sing-a-long theme starting with seven passengers on a three hour cruise and the Minnow would be lost.
Yes, Lost – like the mysterious island sci-fi weird fantasy TV epic now nearing it’s highly entertaining, yet befuddling ("let’s make this up as we go along") run.
Showbiz bible Variety reports that Warner Brothers and Atlas Entertainment are teaming to bring the seminal 60s sitcom to the screen with a script by Brad Copeland.
With any reimagining these days, this tale will now be dark and really really weird in the post-Lost media jungle.
Weird as in smoke monster alias Fake Locke is the Devil? Or weird as in The Professor and Gilligan hook up? THAT remains to be seen.
But you can be sure "The Millionaire and his wife" will now have lost everything — thanks to Bernie Madoff!
