Gilligan’s Island: Warner Bros. Says No Merit to Movie Lawsuit

by Trevor Kimball, August 27, 2014

Gilligan's Island movie lawsuitTravis Dunson of Georgia is suing Warner Bros. over their plans to produce a Gilligan’s Island movie starring Josh Gad.

It seems that Dunson is maintaining that the studio is using elements of his 1999 unproduced script Gilligan’s Island: 7 Stranded Castaways from the Hood for their feature film adaptation of the 1960s TV show. He claims that his agents got the screenplay to Warner Music SVP Doug Frank and he “loved it.” Nothing came of it but he believes that the script for the upcoming movie is very similar.

In a statement, Warner Bros. said, “There is no merit to this lawsuit… Not only does the plaintiff have no rights in an unauthorized work based on the Gilligan property, the project he’s suing over never went forward.”

What do you think? Do you have any interest in a Gilligan’s Island movie?

I’d love a gilligan’s island movie but ever since the creator of the series died and warner bros got sued I’m scared this ain’t gonna happen even though I and many many other fans of gilligan’s island really want this to happen and I’m sure if this happend it would be a huge seller at the box office

I’m tired of studios rehashing old TV shows. Isn’t there any talent out there?! I would like to see something new.

There are new shows every spring and fall, but people don’t watch them so they get canceled. Its no wonder they rehash old popular stories people did watch..

All I’m saying is that Gilligan’s Island is a classic. They better not ruin it like they did with The Munsters.
