Millie Bobby Brown, 20, plans to turn her debut novel, Nineteen Things, into a feature film at Netflix. Brown will produce it through her company PCMA Productions and is in talks to star in the movie adaptation, according to Deadline.
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.
Anthony McCarten is adapting the script. Netflix declined to comment.
