I just noticed this, too -- OMG! There was already a 1990 remake of the 1963 film. rolleyes


Not sure if it was the 1963 film or the book, or both, but I believe the original version was about something like choir school kids being stranded on an island who eventually formed into two factions and began killing each other. Very civilized, nerdy kids becoming completely primitive after a few weeks without the industrial resources they were accustomed to. The 1990 version was about military cadets. Not really as intriguing considering these kids were already brainwashed into being feudal and aggressive in the first place. Surprised they didn't go to war with each other within hours of landing on the island.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
