Okay, the big question, who gets in the quicksand? Mary Ann or Ginger? Who plays them as they fill out the roles that filled the imaginations of sooooo many of my generation?

We (and by that I mean people in this forum) most liely remember that show for the quicksand scene and not for the much else. I won't expect much. The odds are against there bein a quicksand scene.
Studio 588 currently offers more than 2200 different HD and QD quicksand videos and has supported production of well over 2400 video scenes and other projects by 13 different producers. Info may be found at:

You mean you were neither a 'Ginger' or a 'Mary Ann'? (I was a Mary Ann Duncan was most definitely a Ginger )

True of virtually every movie nowadays.

Actually, to my view, this was not a quicsand scene. It was to Gilligan, but Gilligan was an idiot. It wasa, in my view, a mud scene. They were neck deep but they were not sinking.

Re: Big Screen Gilligan's Island At Last
I can clearly recall four quicksand scenes on the show. Only one involving sexy women, but four scenes nonetheless.
Oh, and Mary Ann!!!
Oh, and Mary Ann!!!
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Ugh. Of course it was only a matter of time before Gilligan's Island got dug up and rehashed, just like everything else. God forbid anyone have a new or original thought or idea. Hollywood has long since realized that idiots are drawn to name recognition, regardless of whether the thing they recognize was good or not.
I'm so sick of every bad cartoon, show, movie, and comic from decades ago getting reheated and resold for retard consumption over and over. This show wasn't good then, and it won't be a good movie now. Sherwood Schwartz was a hack then, and his kids are hacks now, trying to figure out the way they can make their next nickel off some shitty IP from the past, rather than coming up with something new or good.
Same goes for Sid and Marty Krofft. If there is a merciful god, this Gilligan's Island remake will tank just as hard as the Kroffts' Land of the Lost remake did. The only reason anyone even remembers this show is because there was no competition. It wasn't good, it's just that there were only like six channels, so there was nothing else to watch.
That being said, I also hope for a quicksand scene, although that seems like a fat chance.

Re: Big Screen Gilligan's Island At Last
Okay, now that all the rejoicing has died down I'll explain my reasons for being excited about this.
Is it going to be Citizen Kane? Of course not. It will likely be awful as so many other television retreads are. Who cares? Ya'll are missing the point here.
Gilligan's Island ran for three years but had five deep mud/quicksand scenes in it and used the "Q" word at least twice beyond that. Once more in one of the dreadful tv movies that followed. We didn't get that much in all the other iterations of television Tarzan put together. Prominently displayed on Sherwood Schwartz map of Gilligan's Island was a spot marked for quicksand. He used it in the next absolutely abysmal series he created - It's About Time. It only ran for one season but had quicksand as a plot device. Deep mud worked it's way into another terrible effort to revamp Gilligan's Island in the old west with Dusty's Trail. Schwartz's other successful creation, The Brady Bunch, finally worked the "Q" word into one of the later awful Brady variety show specials with Vincent Price.
Get it now? Can you see it? Schwartz was either one of us or committed to the use of quicksand as a cheap plot device. Either way we benefit.
But now it gets better - His sons are producing this movie. The writers are going to stretch a half hour show of dubious content to begin with into a feature length move ripe for sequels? They have got to go for one of Dad's favorite gimmicks. They just have to. Making it a hot babe would only improve on it. This has got to be the best shot we've had in years if ever. Just go ahead and book it.

Huh. While it doesn't make me any less angry about the current state of the entertainment industry, that is a very good point, and you've succeeded in raising my hopes slightly, which is actually saying a lot.

Let's hope!
It is my fondest wish to see a Mary Ann quicksand scene...
