SEE BOYS STRANDED ON A TROPICAL ISLAND IN PERIOD SET SERIES ADAPTATION OF LORD OF THE FLIES FROM BBC AND STAN

    LORD OF THE FLIES  
BBC SERIES FIRST TRAILER AND IMAGES 
BBC One has released first trailer and also images from their long awaited small screen adaptation of LORD OF THE FLIES. The eight episode series will start airing on Sunday nights as of February 8th and will also stream on Stan down in Australia. An ensemble cast of over 30 boys, many making their professional acting debuts, is led by Winston Sawyers as Ralph, Lox Pratt as Jack, David McKenna as Piggy and Ike Talbut as Simon. They are joined by fellow castaways including Thomas Connor as Roger, Noah and Cassius Flemyng as twins Sam and Eric, Cornelius Brandreth as Maurice and Tom Page-Turner as Bill. Hans Zimmer did the music.
 
LORD OF THE FLIES IS THE STORY
 of schoolboys stranded on a tropical island with no adults, following a deadly plane crash. In an attempt to remain civil they organise themselves, led by Ralph and supported by the group’s intellectual, Piggy. But when Jack becomes more interested in hunting and vying for leadership, he soon begins to draw other boys away from the group and, ultimately, from hope to tragedy. Set in the early 1950s on an unnamed Pacific island – Jack Thorne’s adaptation delves further into the book’s emotive themes; human nature, the loss of innocence and boyhood masculinity. Each of the four episodes is titled after a character at the core of the story offering a subtly different perspective on the boys’ collective plight and manner in which they cope with their predicament.
