As a fervent admirer of Millie Bobby Brown‘s exceptional talent and versatility, I am absolutely thrilled about her upcoming film adaptation of “Nineteen Steps.” This young actress has already proven her mettle with her captivating performances in Stranger Things, Godzilla, Enola Holmes, and Damsel. Now, it seems she is ready to conquer the literary world as well!
Actress Millie Bobby Brown, known for Stranger Things and Damsel, is working on a movie version of her popular first book titled Nineteen Steps. She intends to produce this project through her own production company (PCMA) on Netflix, with plans for herself to also appear in the film.
acclaimed screenwriter Anthony McCarten (famed for penning The Theory of Everything, Darkest Hour, and The Two Popes) is set to craft the movie’s script. Producer Jonathan Eirich will oversee the project, while Nick Reynolds serves as the executive producer.
What is Nineteen Steps about?
19 Steps, written jointly by Brown and Kathleen McGurl, carries a strong influence from Brown’s family history during World War II, notably her grandmother Ruth, who survived the tragic Bethnal Green tube station incident of the 1940s. This captivating novel was released for public consumption by William Morrow in the year 2023.
According to the book summary (from Goodreads), Nineteen Steps is my story as an 18-year-old girl named Nellie Morris, who feels incredibly fortunate each day I emerge from our underground shelters with my dear family still by my side. A fateful encounter with Ray, an American airman stationed nearby, sparked a captivating curiosity within me about the world beyond. Life took a turn for the exciting when I began to build a bond with Ray, but then tragedy struck during an air raid one night, shattering my world as I knew it. However, in the face of despair, I discovered that even against overwhelming odds, love and happiness can prevail.
Actress Millie Bobby Brown, known for her roles in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and Intruders, gained significant popularity by portraying Eleven on Netflix’s successful show Stranger Things. This series is set to conclude with its fifth and final season, expected in 2025. Additionally, she played Madison Russell in Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) and later reappeared as the character in Godzilla vs. Kong (2021).
I had the privilege of not only starring in but also producing both the Enola Holmes films. In my latest role, I stepped into the shoes of Elodie for the eerie fantasy film Damsel, where I also took on the role of executive producer.
