Speaking of coming movies, here is one that I fear seeing:

Creator hopes Beyonce cast as Ginger in Gilligan`s Island remake

Beyonc as the slinky, red-haired Ginger Grant, cast away forever on a deserted island?

Gilligan, Mary Ann and Ginger will morph back onto the big screen in a Warner Bros movie adaptation of the 1960s television sitcom Gilligan’s Island, UPI reports.

The remake of the castaway comedy, to be set in the present day, has a few names associated with it so far. Among them is the superstar Beyonc.
People reports Gilligan’s Island creator Sherwood Schwartz has mentioned Michael Cera as a ‘dream actor’ to play the part of the dim but well-intentioned Gilligan - and Beyonc as a possible choice for the movie star part of Ginger, played by Tina Louise.

People, however, notes there is no official word on casting.
