Justice for Piggy! If you've ever read William Golding's classic novel Lord of the Flies (or skimmed enough Cliff's Notes to finish your high school paper), you know its darkly classic structure well: Kids get stranded on an island, kids try to retain a sense of sanity and society, kids quickly devolve into their inherent animalistic natures, kids kill each other moments before getting rescued. The book has been adapted twice before, and we're soon to get another from director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria). And now, per the Hollywood Reporter, this version …

The 1990 adaptation of Lord Of The Flies received mixed reviews but here's why it remains the most underrated version of the classic story.

What if Lord of the Flies but with girls? Once upon a time, that was the premise of Warner Bros.' new adaptation of William Golding's 1954 novel about a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island and the societal fallout that ensues. Now it seems like the project might be going back to a more faithful rendition of the source story, though I still have my fingers crossed for a Lady of the Flies take. What is clear, however, is that filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Suspiria) is in talks to direct the pic. …

Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino enters talks to helm a new movie adaptation of William Golding's famous book, Lord of the Flies.

There's no shortage of Lord of the Flies inspired stories in film and TV, but you'll rarely see one as strange, focused, and disquieting as Ladyworld. Set at a sleepover that quickly turns into a post-apocalypse tinged survival story, Ladyworld finds a gang of mismatched teenage girls rapidly devolving into factionalized psychos when they get trapped underground after a mysterious natural disaster. I caught the film during its festival tour at Fantastic Fest last year, where it was met with a bit of a divided response. It's a super psychologically draining film that seems targetted to …

Oops, the teens went and did a dystopia again. If you're a fan of the YA genre, you've no doubt seen this story before: a group of teenagers stranded without the structures of adult society are forced to remake the world in their own image to survive. From William Golding's 1954 literary classic Lord of the Flies to The 100, The Woods, and so forth, there's no shortage of stories about youth confronting the perils of leadership. That overfamiliar quality might leave a wash of "meh" in viewers' mouths when they first turn to Netflix's …

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming series The Society. Written by Chris Keyser (Tyrant) and directed by Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer), the upcoming series takes place in a world where a group of teenagers are mysterious transported to a facsimile of their wealthy New England town, but without any trace of their parents or other adults. Left to their own devices, everything is fun and games until their little society starts breaking down and they must learn how to survive. It’s not a bad spin on Lord of the Flies, although I think William …
