'Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase': Sophia Lillis stars as teen detective highlighting 'female brain power'

The upcoming Warner Bros. film 'Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase' will not be reminiscent of Emma Roberts' 2007's Nancy Drew and neither will it echo the 1930's film

Nancy Drew has been a cult-favorite, teen girl detective for generations and in a world of reboots and remakes, it is only fitting the feminist and cultural icon comes alive on our screens. At the beginning of 2018, it was announced 'Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase' will translate into a 2019 movie starring Sophia Lillis, who played Beverly in the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's 'IT.'

The production kicked off in June and in an exclusive interview with music composer Sherri Chung, we learned a bit more about our strong-headed protagonist. As we were interviewing Chung for her outstanding work in the on-going, The CW's genre-bending hit 'Riverdale,' she disclosed to us that she had just wrapped up work for 'Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase.'
