Michael Cera as Gilligan
Holland Taylor (the mom from 2 and a half men) as Mrs. Howell
Donald Sutherland, Brian Denehey or, if you want the film to do zero box office - John Goodman - as Thurston Howell III
Christina Hendricks as Ginger
Ginnifer Goodwin as MaryAnn
Steve Carrell as the Professor, and in a twist, Rowan Atkinson as his twin brother. No, wait.. Bob Saget!
Actually, you could cast the entire film from the Mad Men folks:
Jon Hamm would be the professor
Brian Blatt would make a damn fine Professor
Christina Hendricks is already covered
Peggy Moss as Mary Ann
Aaron Staton as Gilligan, or you could cast Petulant Pete Campbell - they're interchangeable in this instance. Wait, wait, wait...this could be the twin brother scenario I'm suddenly thinking is absolutely crucial to the success of the remake.
Bert Cooper as Thurston Howell III
January Jones as his much younger wife
2nd choice: The suddenly ubiquitous Betty White
Hmm.. so now I'm seeing Matt Weiner direct this. Imagine it... the cutting dialogue, the drama, the intrigue, the coconuts placed just so, authentically sourced and period-accurate radio equipment washing up on shore, a Gaugain inspired color palette, racial tension.. oh never mind, and above all.. the vintage Polynesian drapes!
