Some character, maybe Mr. Howell, would need to be a Trump-like villain. There would also have to be a typhoon, or rising tide, that would be a teachable moment so the Professor could lecture about climate change. In spite of your black and gay cast members, there are no trans-sexuals, so the film would be condemned as insufficiently intersectional by woke Twitter mobs. Serious speeches would ensue at the Academy Awards, followed by knowing applause, with a closeup of Tom Hanks solemnly nodding his approval.
shareIt would be ruined by PC nuttery. The storm would be caused by global warming or something, the characters would be all PC approved. Boring.
shareNo reason to slam Hanks. He seems like a patriotic American.

sharewhat about a Biden-like villain that locks kids in cages. that would be better.
shareI would actually like a Hart/Rock Gilligan's Island. And Cox/Mirren is a pretty good casting too.
I hate the rest though. It rings true. They would absolutely make the Professor gay. They would absolutely miscast both sex pots. Taylor Swift has the look (though I don't like her much) for Ginger. Isabela Moner/Merced is about as close as they'll get to Mary Ann.
I thought there was talk about a new one or at least a movie. Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as the Howells.Stephanie Hunt for Maryanne.
shareBill Nye the professor guy. Ginger would be a tranny. Skipper would be gay, and Gilligan would be his little buddy!
