All Female Lord Of The Flies reboot is coming

[plastroncafe]

I disagree. Not only do I not really think a perfect adaptation of a thing is possible, I don't think that should be the goal of an adaptation. Faithful, yes. But a perfect transfer from one medium to another? Nah.

It'd be like that Borges short story about the guy who rewrites Don Quixote word for word.

I also don't think it's possible to make a perfect adaptation of Lord of the Flies with a female cast. The book pretends to be about human nature in general, but it's really about one particular kind of person in one particular point in history.
If they're just changing the casting call sheets, without changing the narrative to reflect the cultural differences, mores, and expectations of the characters...then it's doing itself a huge disservice.
