Warner Bros has announced it is making an all-female adaptation of Lord of the Flies, with Scott McGehee and David Siegel lined up to direct.
The script is yet to be written, but McGehee said he and Siegel were “super eager to put pen to paper”.
Warner Bros announcement has already attracted criticism online by many who believe that the idea of an all-female cast would entirely ignore the central themes of the original text.
A release date and cast are also yet to be announced.
