I think they should team up actors Mitch Ryan and Susan Sullivan (The rich parents in the Dharma & Greg TV show) to play Mr. and Mrs. Howell. I think they'd be perfect.

Anyone familiar with iCarly knows that Jerry Trainor would make a great Gilligan.

The marina scenes in the opening credits of the season 2 & 3 Gilligan's Island episodes (the color episodes) were filmed at the Long Beach Alamitos Bay Marina.
And the Long Beach Alamitos Bay Marina is where Busters Beach House is located.
And The Smokin Menehunes are playing at Busters Beachhouse this Sunday (April 25)
So if you go this Sunday, take a look out of the big window at Busters. You may recognize the locations of these 2 shots of the S.S. Minnow leaving for it's 3 hour tour before the weather started getting rough.

I am GLAD you brought this up. Yep! Absolutely. He IS Gilligan!
And if you think about it, he would also make an excellent Jack Tripper should they ever "reboot" Three's company. Every time I watch Icarly with my kid, I see this guy as Tripper! Same manerisms, same totally manic energy! Jeffery Trainor as Jack Tripper!

I am pretty sure you are right, and I read somewhere that it was the entrance to NP harbor.

well, OK, I am not 100 percent sure about that shot. I do know they filmed at L.B. Marina and there is a spot in Alamitos Bay that looks just like that. When you are at Busters , look out the window towards the Ocean and you may see it.
However it could be Newport. Waves are kind of small in that shot so I always assumed it was Long Beach.
but i could be wrong.
Maybe people should go to Busters this Sunday and check it out. And while they are there....

I think your right about that John-O, this was a 1960s show and updating it just would not work.
Maybe everyone should just rent the Porno Version and curse Hollywood for all these remakes!

How about Tony Soprano as the Skipper ?? Actually why not just do it as a movie version of the Sopranos where they all get shipwrecked on an tropical island. I think that's way more interesting and would be way more funny. "Soprano's Island". 
A standard remake of "Gilligan's Island" is going to SUCK !! You all know it is. Name me one movie version of a TV comedy series that was any good.

Or how about a movie that portrays the cast members after the show ended ??
(When they couldn't get any new work and got screwed out of the rerun royalties and got caught with pot in their car)
 
"Ginger or Mary Ann ??" You wanna go back and change your answer?

I always thought that part was from the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor in Honolulu facing Magic Island at Ala Moana Park.
Here it is modernly
There's a reference to it here
