New Images Released For Netflix's ENOLA HOLMES with Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill
Netflix has shared a few new photos from their upcoming film Enola Holmes, the story of which puts the focus on Sherlock Holmes’ rebellious teenage sister. Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things) is playing the title role and Henry Cavill (Man of Steel) is playing the great Sherlock Holmes.
The film is based on the book series The Enola Holmes Mysteries by Nancy Springer and this is the synopsis:
ENOLA HOLMES tells the story of Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ rebellious teen sister Enola, a gifted super-sleuth in her own right who often outsmarts her brilliant siblings. When her mother mysteriously disappears on her 16th birthday, Enola seeks help from her older brothers. But soon realizing they’re less interested in solving the case than in packing her off to finishing school, Enola does the only thing a smart, resourceful and fearless young 1880s woman can do… she runs away to London to find her. Meeting a cast of memorable characters along the way, Enola’s caught in the middle of a conspiracy that could alter the course of political history. ENOLA HOLMES puts a dynamic new female twist on the world’s greatest detective and his brilliant family.
When talking about the series with USA Today, Brown offered some details about the movie and her depiction of the character. She reveals that she breaks the fourth wall in the movie and that she was channeling Jodie Foster while playing the character. She also said:
“What you're watching is a young girl trying to find herself in hectic chaos that she doesn't really know how to handle, but that's just kind of life in general for a teenage girl.”
She went on to say that the character uses her intelligence in “more of a humorous way whereas Sherlock Holmes really didn’t.”
The film is directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve), with a script from Jack Thorne (Wonder, His Dark Materials). The movie also stars Sam Claflin (Me Before You), Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter films), and Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve).
