When "Giligan Island" came out of the air in 1967Only barely reached the benchmark, needed to put the performance in a union. Sherwood Schwartz's series was popular during three season running, but she remained firmly in American consciousness thanks to endless repetitions. More generations grew up watching the show, and it always seemed to attract large numbers. The interest remained high enough that, until 1978, NBC produced a subsequent TV film titled "Rescue from the Island Giligan". The film has seen the seven captured preparations, finally returning to the mainland, just to discover that life is not so pink. In an ironic twist, a cheerleading storm eventually deposited them on the same island.

That film was successful enough to guarantee a 1979 sequel titled "The Castaways on the Island Giligan", which was actually a pilot at the back. The film also saw their stay saved, but they came to the conclusion that, as Sisyphus, they wanted to make their rock "their work". Hence, Castaways deliberately moved to the island and, with the funding of Mr Howell (Jimim Bakus), built a well-advertised beach resort. The third and Final film "The Island of Giligan", in 1981 "Harlem Globtroters on the island of Giligan", " It was pretty notorious about how silly it was. In it, the title of basketball team crashed in the above -mentioned resort and were forced by the wicked business robbery to play basketball against his robot team (!).

It may be thought that, after a few years, you will be able to restart "Island Giligan" either on TV or on the big canvas. TV films were not great, but repetitions were still popular. Plus, by the end of the 1980s, nostalgia in the 1960s rode high, so the film feels like it is logical. Talking to Women's worldSherwood Schwartz's son, Lloyd Schwarz, explained the long saga why there was still no other movie "Island Giligan". More than everything, he raised the studio's heads that did not "get" the property.

Lloyd J. Schwartz revealed that he and his father (who died in 2011) spent years trying to restart Giligan Island in film form, starting in 1988. As they did, it could have been wind of rumors claiming a movie "Island Giligan" or another was pre-production. I personally remember that I heard of rumors that Jameimi Kennedy was once okay to play Gilligan in a movie in the 1990s. In 2008, Sherwood Schwartz even said he wanted Make a movie "Island Gilligan" starring Michael Ferra like Gilligan and Beyonce as a ginger. "Over the years, so many people have come and have no," Lloyd said in his wife's world interview. "The directors made promises, key figures died ... It's a long, sad and often funny story."

He then pointed out the reason why none of the planned films ever went to any place: studio directors. As he said:

"Always and then, you will see titles for A"Giligan's island ' The film is in development, but nothing comes from it. The biggest problem? When we meet a study, they behave as if they know better than us. Instead of trusting people who actually created And Understand show, they dictate like that should to complete. And, inevitably, they fail. "

Sherwood Schwartz made the lion's part of the work of the island of Giligan, but Lloyd Schwarz was there at every turn of the road, and even collaborated with his father on various Braddanch projects. He would know Sherwood's work better than anyone. And yet, the usual story persists: the executions want to be creatives.

Lloyd Schwarz agreed that the most positive experience he had with execution happened when he and his father worked on "Rescue from the island of Giligan". The head of Ann -Bi at the time, Dean Barclays, did not offer entry and, from the memory of Lloyd Schwarz, just said, "You know something? I don't get the" island of Gilligan ". I don't know why it works. And they did it, without mixing. "That's right should To do, "he said.

Really.
