After a youth spent fending off D&D monsters and city-demolishing lizards, Millie Bobby Brown is ready to solve some quaint, perhaps less-apocalyptic mysteries. Variety reports that the Stranger Things actress will play Enola Holmes, the young sister of Sherlock Holmes, in a new film based on Nancy Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries book series. The six-book series follows the budding detective’s own investigations, as well as how they intersect with those of her older brother, who probably can’t stop threatening to tell Mom on her.
Legendary’s set to produce the film, which will be helmed by Harry Bradbeer, the British director behind Killing Eve and Fleabag. Jack Thorne, who penned the upcoming His Dark Materials adaptation for the BBC and HBO, is handling scripting duties. Filming is said to begin this summer, after Brown finishes refereeing Godzilla Vs. Kong.
While we’re excited to see Brown’s amateur sleuthing skills, we’re perhaps more excited to see the eye rolls she’ll no doubt be throwing towards her big bro, who we’re going to go ahead and assume is more Buzz McCallister than Benedict Cumberbatch.

Did Drake choose the header pic?
IKR a little provocative
The Holmes & Watson sequel America has clamored for!
Well, it’s her prerogative.
What age does she have to reach for it to be appropriate to jerk off thinking about her?
Half your age plus seven.
What is this, and I am 12.
Seriously, I wonder if she is going to wind up a coke head like Carrie Fisher?
I’m twelve.
Same age as Ivanka, Donald.But seriously, WTF. Flagged.
THIS GUY SAID IT, NOT ME!
Yes, im sure all of the adult men and women who hired her did so with no consideration of her physical appearance.
Shes going to be hot soon.
Dont get mad at me because they dont let ugly people be on TV.
DIAF
Do you hear yourself? You’re attacking others because you know you’re a creep. Get out.
No.
Jesus Christ she’s 14 you fucking pervert.
Hence the question.I didnt mean now.
You’re just the kind of person that they would bring back To Catch A Predator for.
No, probably more for self righteous people like yourself who pretend to be so morally superior then find twenty nurses in your basement.

Looks like something triggered fatty.
Kill yourself, Dwayne.
Thats mean.
eat shit
You need a nap.
eat shit
Hold on……..im saving that picture of her to my spank bank.
And maybe a warm bottle too
Just read the plot for these books and even for YA it looks bad.
The reviews are generally good, but even the positive reviewers acknowledge that the mystery part of these stories aren’t exactly a real mental challenge. But then neither was Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys.
First Death Note then Ghost In The Shell now Miss Sherlock? Why you gotta remake all the Japanese shows ma dude?EDIT: But this reminds me of the Phoenix Wright game when Phoenix Wright’s like Grandfather or whatnot solves crimes with Sherlock Holmes and a young female child Watson after the original Watson dies.
Refereeing? Is Godzilla vs. Kong a sequel?
I’m mostly concerned about a quality British accent.
Unless she’s lost her original British accent that shouldn’t be a problem.
Her parents are English & she didn’t live in the states until she was seven.
Great news, she’s British!
You know she’s British, right?
I hope it’s a better sister story than S4 of Sherlock
That storyline was pretty awful. I really hope that if they ever do a new series of Sherlock that it’s just solving one-off crimes.
Dwayne the pedophile, everyone. Good job, AVC. Way to cull those trolls.
Yeah!This site needs to be made safe for fat ugly people like CallMeShoebox!
He’s a creep, just flag everything he posts.
