'Lord of the Flies' Casting Directors Explain Finding 30+ Kids

www.thewrap.com: Jack Thorne gave casting directors Nina Gold and Martin Ware a tall order. The Emmy-winning co-creator of “Adolescence” had adapted William Golding’s seminal 1954 novel “Lord of the Flies” into a four-episode Netflix series, and he needed approximately 30 boys, no younger than 5 years old and no older than 12, to anchor four hours of television that are almost entirely adultfree. Oh, and they’d be shooting primarily in mangrove forests in Malaysia for three months.
