There is a terrific (but unprintable here) comment a little past halfway down the page from someone named Gavia Baker-Whitelaw. That person sums up my thoughts on this.

[Migraine]

I thought the movie, “Heathers”, was a remake of “Lord of the Flies” (”Lord of the Floozies”). LOL

[jiggyboy]

I’ll say it again: pillow fights.

[cincinnati65]

Maybe they could turn it into a comedy? I mean isn't this what passes for creativity out of Hollywood these days?

Let's remake X with an all-black cast! Let's remake Y with an all-female cast! It'll be great!

Opening day bomb.....and Hollywood is like "What happened?"

[lurk]

Can’t happen. They could never settle on who’s in charge and what the plan is.

Kill the pig cut his throat

[Vaquero]

Mud wrestling

Foxy Boxing.

[Flash Bazbeaux]

It’s like “Speed Two”, but in a bus, instead of a boat.

[Nifster]

The book is the tale of what happens when boys are left to their own devices. It is a morality tale

Retold in this modern manner is ignorant

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why not title the sequel, “Queen of the Flies?”

[Artemis Webb]

Exactly!
I guess we’re sexist to believe boys are different than girls.

[Gay State Conservative]

Lord of the Flies is,IMO,a true classic.I,for one,cannot think of a single attempt to remake a classic that wasn't an absolute disaster.

[PGR88]

I have no doubt they will a bikini mud-wrestling scene, I’m guessing between Kate Hudson and Scarlett Johannsen, you know, just to make it commercially viable.

[camle]

bet they’ll throw in a mouth-kiss, if not full blown lesbian scene

[struggle]

Please do NOT use the cast of the new Ghostbusters.

[catnipman]

remake of a crappy movie made from a crappie book, but with GIRLS!

Wonder if it’ll be as big a hit as the all-female Ghostbusters reboot?

[Architect of Avalon]

What do you believe would be different about one gender in that situation contrasted with the other gender in that situation?

How do you feel each respective gender would handle the situation differently?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Lord of the Flies with girls does not work.

Because boys and girls, especially at that age when they are running on instinct rather than logic and reason, are very different.

[SamAdams76]

except this time ... wait for it ... the island is full of girls.

Count me in!

There is a terrific (but unprintable here) comment...

Yeah, I laughed out loud at that one. And agreed. Somebody is seriously missing the point here.

A lot of people do. I cannot imagine why this book appears on a high school reading list, which it did for me. I didn't get it at all, but twenty years later I sure as hell did.

Is there a sex-based group behavioral difference? Uh...look at fraternity behavior. Now look at sorority behavior. Yes, there is. And that's where there are rules.
