Lord of the Flies- Remake: BERMUDA.

1. This is Chace Crawford. I chose Chace Crawford because he seems he could be cocky from past roles. Also because he seems like the type that would want to be a leader when there is a situation of being stuck. He also reminds me of the actual Ralph in the movie because in his roles he's nice and has a good heart at the end. Ralph seems at the beginning to not have a good heart because he's mean to Piggy but in the end he is really nice to him. I think he's a good Ralph because he would be good at making people listen to him. He has that leader type vibe and that would really work with the remake of the Lord of the Flies. He is also a good Ralph because in his past roles he is a good friend that grows to form really strong friendships and that's what we see happening in Lord of the Flies between Ralph and Piggy.

2. I chose Rachel McAdams to play Jack. In the movie her name would be Jacqueline. I choose her to play Jack because from her previous movies she's nice in the beginning and then in the end when she finally cracks, like Jack, she goes completely wild. So i thought she would be a good Jack in that way. Also Jack is a boy but a girl could play his part really good. I chose her to because in her movies she is sort of a backstabber and Jack back stabbed Ralph by taking away most of the people that could be helpful. I also choose her because she has an evil look to her and she could be a good hunter in the remake. And with her evil look she could scare people or beasties.


3. This is Leighton Meester. I chose Leighton Meester Piggy. I chose her to play Piggy in the movie because I wanted to change it up by putting a girl in the cast and she seemed like a person who could play a boy or in this case a girl who would be nice and not mean while stranded somewhere. She could be the follower, just like Piggy. She would never be mean to be heard and to be hurt. The only thing that i would change is her name to Tabitha "Tibby". Leighton Meester would be a good Tibby/Piggy because she comes out in Gossip Role and she is used to being in weird situations like how the situations will be in the remake of the Lord of the Flies. She also seems dorky like Piggy and she can really transform into his role.


4. This is Lindsay Lohan. I chose her to play Simon because Lindsay in her past roles seems to be chill and relaxed like Simon. She also looks like Simon who would wonder around like Simon does in the last few chapters. She also looks the youngest and Simon is a little younger of all the main characters. But in the remake they are all the same age. Lindsay could also play Simon because Simon is always with Jack and Ralph and he is somewhat a follower. Lastly I think she would make a good Simon because from her past roles like in Mean Girls she is friends with both sides like the popular crowd which in Lord of the Flies would be the hunters and the choir and she is also friends with the art "freaks" which actually those are her real friends, and in Lord of the Flies they would be Ralph, Jack, and Piggy. Her name in the remake would be Simone.



5. I chose Leonardo Dicaprio to play Roger. I chose him because in the movie "Catch me If You Can" he goes out of his way to get what he wants and he does it. Just like Roger when he kills Piggy. He can be heartless also. I think Leo also will fit great in the movie because just like the others he looks like a high school boy. He makes a good Roger because he can seems nice on the outside but deep down when he's playing a mean role he can be evil and no one would expect it.






The place where my movie is The Bermuda Triangle. I chose an island because i wanted to keep the main setting because i really don't like it when good books are made into movies that hardly relate to the book, especially if it's really good. But i did change the island to the Bermuda's. I chose the Bermuda's because the island is very mysterious and the way they end up there is that all 5 characters are going to a school trip to the Florida to this famous museum and they are coming from New York but they are late to the airport and they don't notice but they get the wrong tickets and the wrong plane. But none of them know each other even though they go to the same school. So once they get on the plane everything seems normal and they all start to fall asleep and the plane never stops and then all of a sudden while riding right over the Bermuda Triangle they begin to get a lot of turbulence and they are forced to evacuate and all 5 of them strangely get saved and land in the Bermuda island. From there the storyline is mostly like the Lord of the Flies.



7a. The "beastie" is this hurricane on top of the Bermuda triangle. I chose this as the beastie because it is very scary if your stuck on this weird island that changes over night.

7b. The first thing i would change is the reason why and how they end up on the island. The second is their age and there gender like Simone would be Simone, and Piggy Tibby. The last thing i would change is how they interact with each other, like they're not going to be so wild and naive, they will be more mature and they will handle the situation differently by communicating and not fighting and by getting to know each other and finding a way to escape this strange place. Also by figuring out why them 5 in particular got stranded.

8. I wouldn't keep the name the Lord of the Flies, i would change it to BERMUDA.
