Oscar nominee Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria, We Are Who We Are) is in talks to direct the Lord of the Flies feature adaptation for Warner Bros., Variety has confirmed.
Guadagnino is currently in pre-production on We Are Who We Are, the HBO miniseries drama starring Faith Alabi and Alice Braga.
The outlet notes that plans to have a female-led version of the story has been scrapped and the project will actually follow a group of school boys.
The filmmaker and his producing partner, Marco Morabito, are also in negotiations to produce the movie based on William Golding’s novel.
