Millie Bobby Brown to Adapt Her Novel "Nineteen Steps" Into Netflix Movie

British actress Millie Bobby Brown plans to turn her debut novel, “Nineteen Things

,” into a feature film at Netflix.

Brown has close ties to the streaming behemoth because it’s home to the hugely popular television series that propelled her to fame.

The “Stranger Things” star also worked with Netflix on the Sherlock Holmes spinoff series “Enola Holmes” and the fantasy adventure “Damsel.”

Brown will produce “Nineteen Things” through her company PCMA Productions and is in talks to star in the movie adaptation, according to Deadline, which broke the news of the project.

Published in September 2023, “Nineteen Steps” is set during World War II and takes inspiration from Brown’s grandmother’s life.

The story follows 18-year-old Nellie Morris, who is living in the east London neighborhood of Bethnal Green and falling for an American airman named Ray. But her world is turned upside down after surviving the Bethnal Green Tube disaster, which killed 173 civilians who were seeking shelter during an air raid.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Darkest Hour” screenwriter Anthony McCarten is adapting the script for the screen.

Rideback executive Jonathan Eirich will serve as a producer while Nick Reynolds will serve as executive producer. 

Netflix’s new film chief Dan Lin founded the production company Rideback, which has backed “It,” “The Lego Movie” and “Aladdin.”

Brown, 20, has received two Emmy nominations for portraying Eleven on “Stranger Things,” which is expected to conclude with a fifth and final season in 2025. 

She is also appeared in 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” and its 2021 sequel “Godzilla vs. Kong.” Up next, Brown is in the ensemble of “The Electric State,” a science-fiction adventure directed by Anthony and Joe Russo (“Avengers: Endgame”) and co-starring Chris Pratt, Ke Huy Quan, Stanley Tucci, and Jenny Slate.
