Gee, the controversy isn't very progressive. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/01/entertainment/lord-flies-girl-remake/index.html

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

ZOOOOOM!

See, okay... The idea could work. It makes sense. All-male and all-female boarding schools were very much a thing in the 50s and aren't completely unheard of now. The premise is okay, but what they're going to have to do is change the dynamics of the group entirely; girls and boys are different, people. You're going to have to stray from the book significantly if you expect to get the social interaction right. But that's all they have to do to make this legit. As for Ghostbusters—that was just stupid. Gender-swapping for its own sake. |

I expect that they will preach that girls are from Venus. Or maybe that girls can be just as bloodthirsty as boys. I'm not sure if I could stand either. |

Yep, that's the problem. Ask any Romero fan who's honest with himself: every time you place your politics in front of the story, you lose. |

HOLY CARP!!!
|
Instead of girls, just use women, and make a women prison movie, with the island being the metaphorical prison. Ok? |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

It would be so bloodthirsty as to defy any known rating. If it were realistic, that is. |

I wonder if at the end when the British navy rescues them it becomes a remake of Lolita. |

No... Then it segues into "Snow White & The 7 Sailors."

The article is an amazing play on all the meanings of contrived. |
