The William Golding novel is being adapted once again, this time by a male writing-directing duo. Warner Bros. is planning a gender-bent adaptation of the iconic William Golding novel Lord of the Flies.
Scott McGehee and David Siegel will write and direct the new take on the story, which follows a group of young boarding school students that end up stranded on an island and devolve into pre-pubescent savages over the course of the novel. Harry Hook directed a 1990 version of the story, while a 1963 feature was helmed by Peter Brook.

Not really and NOT with small to pubescent little girls.
You want to see little girls, from around the age of 6, or so to 11 or 12 year olds girls topless?
No. Let's increase the age to high school. Is that possible? I never saw the original so I have no clue. I thought they were all teenagers or older.
No, you really can't increase the age...it is what it is.
You want to see teen girls ( sorry, no topless scenes ) who are nasty and one kills the others...watch HEATHERS.
I did not know Lord of the Flies was adapted from a book. I will have to check out Heathers.
Soon Hollywood will come out with Remake of the following: ‘Gone With the Wind’ (with Ashley Wilkes as a TG person), King Lear (King Lear will have a guy as his Queen), Romeo and Juliet (Romeo will be a girl as is Juliet), Blue Lagoon (Endorsed by NAMBLA, since the adult survive along with 2 boys) and Dial M for Murder (set at the local Planned Homicide clinic, the murder are the babies).
Thanks
I would rather not be right about this.
I can’t deny the evidence however.
OTOH...I was not all that old/removed from the age groups talked about and knew that kids were mean and vicious underneath the facade of being "civilized", so it struck a cord.
Times have changed and yes, evidence proves that your post is not only correct, but sadly, one of the most insightful ever posted to FR.
Lady of the Flies?
OTOH..."HEATHERS" is a very "dark" movie made primarily for a teenage girl crowd. You very well may enjoy it, though.
‘Caulder’ was pretty bad too, but Raquel was in both so ...
Why not just rename it ‘Mean Girls’? These flakes cast a black man as the gunslinger Roland Deschain in the movie.
There were no black people in Gilead. King mentions a group of dark-skinned people, but none from that kingdom.
IOW it’s politically correct BS insulting to those who plowed through those doorstops. Have you ever read one of his introductions to his own books? They’re like a Tolstoy novel, if he wrote baloney. I would go shout at the clouds if t wasn’t night time. Why, when I was a lad we ...
“It was a lousy book, that made a lousy movie and now lets remake it as another lousy movie.”
No kidding! Reading it in Junior High was TORTURE! I had discovered so many other, BETTER, authors to read by then.
It’s junk. It’s what LIBERALS want their Dystopian World to look like - with THEM on top of the rest of us.
*SPIT*
“Then again, they never learn as they think if it is done enough times it will become acceptable.”
Hollywood feels that way about Socialism/Communism, too! It’ll work out just fine! But only if THIS generation manages it.
*SNORT*
I am not sure that I deserve it, but thank you.
This is going to sink without a trace in theaters. Apparently the Ghostbusters remake fiasco wasn’t enough to convince those woke, feminist MBAs in Hollywood. There is no one clamoring to see well-known stories featuring male characters remade with female characters. Give audiences good movies about women in their own stories - Wonder Woman - and they’ll make them hits.
Oh, indeed - and it holds true for adults as well. Just ask anyone who has worked as a bouncer.
I am very even handed; I go after moronic posts and correct them and/or trash the poster. I also hand out praise when deserved and you deserved every single word I wrote to and about you; BRAVO....WELL DONE!
