Los Angeles, Mar 6 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Fans of the 1960’s TV show – Gilligan Island can rejoice, as plans are afoot to make a movie based on it. This TV series had a run on the small screen for 3 years from 1964-1967. This series was about seven friends who embark on a three-hour boat ride, but they instead get stranded on an island in the Pacific. The island has no inhabitants, and this group of friends have no option but to stay on the island, as their boat has been destroyed in a storm.
