‘Lord of the Flies’ Remake Producer Calls Luca Guadagnino’s Film Scary & Fresh

Lindsey Anderson Beer is no stranger to a good bit of IP. Known best for her work as a writer behind projects including Netflix’s Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, the scribe will soon make her directorial debut with Paramount+’s Pet Sematary: Bloodlines. The film will serve as a prequel telling of the story and movie, Pet Sematary, first made a classic piece of literature through Stephen King’s 1983 novel. Now that the title is preparing to unearth itself onto Paramount+ at the end of next week, Anderson Beer has turned her head onto another reboot — Sleepy Hollow. And, beyond her directorial efforts on the ghostly tale first penned by Washington Irving, Anderson Beer is teaming up with Luca Guadagnino to serve as a producer on the celebrated helmer’s remake of Lord of the Flies. In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff, Anderson Beer teases what sets Guadagnino’s piece apart from other film adaptations and how he developed it for a modern telling.
