Suspiria (2018) director Luca Guadagnino is working on a new adaptation of Lord of the Flies. And today we have word that the film has snagged A Monster Calls author Patrick Ness.
At one point a female version of the classic tale was in development, but it’s said this version, which Guadagnino will produce with Marco Morabito, will be aiming closer to the original novel.
Sounds good me!

Author William Golding’s book focuses on a group of military schoolboys who become marooned on a remote island after a plane crash. While initially cooperative, after the discovery of a “beast,” the boys split into two warring camps, one headed by the liberal-minded Ralph, the other by the militaristic Jack. Their society begins to descend into violence, and boys soon learn there’s a thin line between society and savagery.
The last time Lord of the Flies was adapted for the screen was in director Harry Hook’s 1990 version starring Balthazar Getty, Chris Furrh, Danuel Pipoly, James Badge Dale, and Andrew and Edward Taft. Columbia Pictures released it back on March 16, 1990.
