Warner Bros developing a female-led 'Lord of the Flies' film

Warner Bros is adapting William Golding's iconic novel 'Lord of the Flies' for the big screen.

Scott McGehee and David Siegel will write and direct the project, which follows a group of young boarding school students that end up stranded on an island. However, there is one major twist in the movie adaptation: the students stranded on a remote island will be girls.
"We want to do a very faithful but contemporized adaptation of the book, but our idea was to do it with all girls rather than boys."
"It is a timeless story that is especially relevant today, with the interpersonal conflicts and bullying, and the idea of children forming a society and replicating the behavior they saw in grownups before they were marooned," Siegel said. The book was most famously turned into a film in 1963 by Peter Brook.
