Millie Bobby Brown has written a historical fiction novel with a war mystery that she will adapt into a film

Stranger things AND Enola Holmes star Millie Bobby Brown has a lot of irons in the fire, with the final season of her hit series ending soon and many film projects in the works, the 19-year-old actress recently got engaged and published her first novel this year.

The book, ghostwritten by the author Kathleen McGurltitled Nineteen steps, is a historical fiction novel based on a true war mystery, inspired by Brown’s grandmother Ruth, who died in 2020. Brown recently appeared on Lorraine (via Digital Spy/CB) and revealed plans to adapt her book into a film. When she was asked if Nineteen Steps will be adapted into a film, she replied:

“Yes, definitely. That was the intention behind it. Of course, I just want to create more, so yes, this is a great foundation.”

Brown said of the story’s inspirations:

“My grandmother would tell me stories when I couldn’t sleep at night and I think, for a while, and maybe until I was eight, I didn’t think they were true. And then I slowly realized that these were things that happened to her in his childhood, during the Second World War.”

He added of the book’s Bethnal Green setting:

“It’s where my grandmother lived and I used to go there a lot in the summer and I bought it the other day. It was great to go back and remember all that nostalgia, but it’s a really important place for her and for our whole family . I’m very drawn to things that mean something to me and a more female-centric role. I’m very, very committed to moving people with what I do.”

It’s great that she was able to turn this series of very personal stories into a book and future film project. I can’t wait to see where her career goes. She is a talented actress and so far she has done very well in choosing her projects.

Brown will appear next The Russo Brothers.” movie The Electric Stateopposite to Chris Pratt, Stanley TucciAND Ke Huy Quanwhose release is scheduled for 2024.
