Millie Bobby Brown adapting London-set debut book into Netflix movie

As a fan who has grown up watching Millie Bobby Brown‘s remarkable journey from Eleven to a budding author and producer, I am absolutely thrilled about her upcoming adaptation of “Nineteen Steps” for Netflix!


Millie Bobby Brown is set to adapt her own novel, Nineteen Steps, into a feature film for Netflix.

The actress renowned for playing Eleven in “Stranger Things” published a book in 2023. The story, influenced by her personal experiences, tells of a teenager living in 1940s Britain who must cope with the challenges of growing up while also dealing with wartime hardships.

Earlier, Brown had expressed her wish to transform the novel into a movie, and now it appears that dream has materialized. According to Deadline, the actor is slated to not only appear in but also produce the film. Screenwriter Anthony McCarten, recognized for his work on ‘The Theory of Everything’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, is being considered to write the script.

Previously, Brown had mentioned that she intended to transform the novel into a project under her production company, PCMA. She stated, “Indeed, I would adapt it. That was the idea behind it. After all, I’m always looking to produce more, so yes, this serves as a strong base.”

As a kid who’d often find myself awake at night, my nan would spin tales that filled the silence. At first, I believed them to be mere stories, fantasies that danced in my dreams. But as I grew older, around eight or so, I started pondering if these yarns were more than just make-believe.

That place, known as Bethnal Green, is where my grandmother resided and I would visit often during summers. Recently, I acquired something there, which was quite a treat. Just stepping back into that environment brought forth so much nostalgia, but it holds immense significance not only for her, but also for our entire family.

The celebrity expresses a strong attraction towards things that hold personal significance and tends to lean more towards female-focused roles. This individual is extremely dedicated to using their actions to touch people’s hearts, as they have also showcased in the Enola Holmes and Godzilla series.
