Here's one I had forgotten about; Based on the Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer, Netflix's upcoming ENOLA HOLMES finds Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) starring as the title character, the younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. The film follows the young heroine as she awakes on her 16th birthday to discover that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has vanished and an assortment of gifts has been left behind, but with no apparent clues as to the whereabouts of her mother. Now in the care of her two older brothers who want to ship her off to a finishing school, Enola escapes through London to find her mom.
Entertainment Weekly and Total Film has dropped a handful of photos from the upcoming film, which also feature Henry Cavill (The Witcher) as Sherlock Holmes and Sam Claflin (Peaky Blinders) as Mycroft Holmes. Check 'em out below!
Director Harry Bradbeer (Killing Eve) told Total Film that ENOLA HOLMES struck him as "a fresh approach in a number of ways" compared to the other Holmes-related adaptations over the years. "There was the fact that there was a sister that people probably hadn’t considered existed, and that automatically brings the whole feminist stance and a feminist angle on the Holmes story, which was particularly interesting to me, as Holmes was thought of as being someone who was a little bit of a misogynist," Bradbeer added.
ENOLA HOLMES is expected to debut on Netflix in September 2020.
