Indie Corner - British thriller Island looks to deliver a modern take on Lord of the Flies

Island in an upcoming British thriller from London-born filmmaker Rehan Malik (Radio London Movie) which is described as ‘a modern day Lord of the Flies’, referring to the classic 1954 novel by William Golding about a group of youths stranded on a deserted island.

Set during a nuclear disaster, Island sees a group of students trapped in a school; while some desire to build a new society, a few attempt to subvert the situation for their own purposes.

Currently in post-production, Island features a young British cast including Lauren Kellegher (Love Tomorrow), Thomas James Longley (Sparrow) and Gabriella Montrose (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), along with Donald Bentley, Samuel Ranger, Tom Hurley, Alex Harvey, Robbie Curran, Matthew Ferdenzi, Bryony Neylan-Francis and Waseem Abbas.

A trailer is expected in the next couple of months and Island is scheduled to premiere at the end of this year before going on to film festivals in 2012. Check out some images from the film...
