\"\"<\/a>Warner Brothers is moving ahead in their plans to bring the seminal 60s comedy series Gilligan’s Island to the big screen by hiring Brad Copeland to write a new scenario in which a small group of people go for a simple three-hour boat tour and find themselves marooned on an uncharted island in the Pacific. (No, there’s no smoke monster in this.)<\/p>\n

On the plus side, Copeland started his career as a staff writer on the sitcom News Radio<\/em> before working on Arrested Development<\/em>, Grounded For Life <\/em>and My Name Is Earl<\/em>. On the minus side is his first feature film credit- Wild Hogs<\/strong>. Copeland has also scripted the upcoming Yogi Bear<\/strong> film and a remake of Flight Of The Navigator<\/strong>. Weigh those as you will.<\/p>\n

Although it is hoped that the film will be in front of cameras early next year, no director or cast has been attached to the project yet.<\/p>\n

I suppose that a decent film could be made out of Gilligan’s Island<\/strong>, though it would probably be very hard to do so. A majority of the charm of the series was the chemistry between the actors and by extension, the characters. But the show always seemed to struggle when it came to concocting a storyline that didn’t feel stretched out at just a half-hour.<\/p>\n

Although the series only ran three years, it was a mainstay in syndication for decades. It also spawned a cartoon series, three live-action made for TV movies and even a reality series.<\/p>\n
