(SOLVED) Are They Remaking Lord Of The Flies?

They both take the title of the novel. However, the American remake differs significantly from the original. Anyone unfamiliar with the story should read the 1963 movie version. Not only are the marooned boys military cadets, they are accompanied on the island by a lone adult (the pilot of the crashed plane), who, despite intruding on the story’s authenticity, stays true to its general mood by being stabbed to death in a cave with a makeshift spear. How Guadagnino’s chooses to interpret the story remains to be seen, but accompanied by Ness, it will undoubtedly be worth watching. A nice one goes to Sekou from Johannesburg, South Africa. [2]

Career Call Me By Your Name 2017, a sweet portrait of love, was released in 2017. That film made Timothée Chalamet a household name, but doing the same thing for a cast of young boys in a new Lord of the Flies adaptation may prove much more difficult, considering the subject matter.
