Millie Bobby Brown & Harry Bradbeer On Crafting A Modern Superheroine In The Victorian-Era ‘Enola Holmes’ – Interview
Joe Utichi Editor, AwardsLineEXCLUSIVE: Nancy Springer’s book series, The Enola Holmes Mysteries, posits a simple idea: rather than re-tread the ground of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories for the thousandth time, what if Sherlock had a little sister whose adventures captured the spirit of the classic detective’s investigations from the perspective of a character beaten down by her young age and the gender norms of the Victorian era? It is the surprisingly rich recipe for a series of six books and, now, a motion picture adaptation by director Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve), starring Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) in the title role. The 16-year-old Brown also happens to be the film’s originating producer.
