Henry Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter Join Millie Bobby Brown In Enola Holmes

It looks like Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown will have some company in the young adult adaptation of the mystery series Enola Holmes. According to THR, Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter will be along for the ride on Legendary’s adventure project, which is based on the novel series by American author Nancy Springer.

The story follows Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes’ much younger sister, who (go figure) has pretty solid detective skills herself. Cavill will fittingly be playing the role of Sherlock Holmes. Bonham Carter will be playing Enola’s mother.

I must admit ignorance to the novels, so I have no idea if Bonham Carter’s character is supposed to be Sherlock’s mother as well, but given how close in age they are, it’d be quite a stretch. Writing the script for the story is Jack Thorne, and the story revolves around a missing teen whose father has been murdered. Sounds like a simple enough murder mystery.

As a fan of mystery, I’m hoping they’ll allow this one to get darker than other films out there that have a teen girl sleuth — like Veronica Mars dark. But we’ll have to wait and see. Probably not, since these are based on teen books, but you never know!
