Super major spoilers for the book.

I always got sad when Piggy died. He fell off a cliff or something and it was the only casualty I think :(

Doesn't someone else die too?

They flattened his head with a boulder

A lot of the commentary with the original book was about the boys going back to being savages without civilization so I wonder if they're intending to change up how that appears when it's all girls or if it'll just be the same thing with gender swapped characters.

This isn't anything like Ghostbusters. Lord of the Flies gets adapted pretty often. Hell there's even a Simpsons episode of it lol.

It's not really the kind of movie that opens itself up to nostalgia or fan service either like most remakes. The story is pretty fucked up.

IIRC there was a significant scene where the boys all repeatedly stabbed a sow to death. Switching the girls drops the sexual undertone here, right? Seems like we would have to get a replacement scene but how would you even do that? Hard to combine the barbarism with the pubescent whatnot.

Yeah it's the stuff like this that makes me curious what they're going to do. Making it a simple gender swap with the same themes and social structure etc. it will be incredibly lazy.

Yeah, I think we'll lose some stuff in translation, but I really am curious to see what it'll open up. Could be done well. I hope.

I never read the book and only seen the original (I think) movie, so I don't really know the undertones and stuff like that from the book. Mind explaining this a bit more, in a teacher to student way?

It's been a while, so if anybody's read it recently, feel free to take over. But basically, the stress of puberty in an environment not meant for puberty (read: no chicks) causes them to develop abnormally in a psychological sense (kinda like Annie Dillard's mason jar meets Conrad's Heart of Darkness).

It has the potential for a really interesting take on the story. It would be interesting to see the reversion to barbarism from a female point of view.

Kind of defeats the purpose.

Like it's about boys.

Boys and girls are categorically different.

We likely wouldn't go to war. Even when we were young, we'd figure it out calmly. Some fighting yes. But girls are more mature and educated at how to not go completely primative

Women plot and scheme better, so maybe they'll go that rout?

Would be interesting. But if they're rewriting everything call it something else lol it's not even the same thing if we change it all up

wasn't there one of those survival reality shows done once where they had a group of guys and a group of girls and they had to move some guys in the girl group since they sucked at doing stuff?

maybe the movie will be like that and only last like half as long as the other movies because they'll kill each other faster and stuff

Be interesting to see how that goes over with the social justice types if it sticks to the book. I'm not sure they'd take well to a group of girls reverting to barbaric savages.
