Warner Bros.’ plans to remake “Lord of the Flies” — but with young girls stranded on a remote island instead of boys — has gotten a lot of people scratching their heads.
Fans of William Golding’s 1954 novel and the subsequent 1963 film by Peter Brook were quick to point out on social media that re-casting with all females just doesn’t make sense considering the dystopian storyline.
“All-female ‘Lord of the Flies remake’ SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE MISSED THE F——– POINT OF LORD OF THE FLIES,” one user tweeted.
Another said that it “is a great way to show you didn’t f—– understand Lord of the Flies.”
