Millie Bobby Brown Film The Thing About Jellyfish

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix looks to have swooped in and picked up the upcoming Millie Bobby Brown film The Thing About Jellyfish, which has been in development since 2015 initially at Universal but now scheduled to arrive as a Netflix Original. As stated above, The Thing About Jellyfish has been in development since 2015 when actress and producer Reese Witherspoon announced the project on her Instagram. The project in its current form was first reported back in March 2019 where it was being developed at Universal.

It tells the story of a young girl named Suzy (Millie Bobby Brown) as she enters seventh grade. When her former best friend Franny dies in a drowning accident — and not believing her mother who says that sometimes “these things happen” — Suzy becomes convinced that the true cause of the tragedy was a rare jellyfish sting. Here is a more detailed description of the entire plot of the movie: Suzy is wonderfully dorky and smart girl whose parents are recently divorced and who just lost her best friend Franny in an accident.

She enlists class pariah Justin’s help and tries to catch jellyfish at night to prove her theory, then attempts to fly to Australia to consult with an expert, and finally goes out in a storm with said expert and get stung herself after falling overboard, only to wake up in the hospital and learn the expert was a figment of her imagination, there were no jellyfish, and she nearly drowned. Finally she is able to come to terms with Franny’s death and get on with her life, and talking. Currently only Millie Bobby Brown is known to star in Netflix’s The Thing About Jellyfish.

Besides Stranger Things she also starred in Enola Holmes and will next be seen in the blockbuster Godzilla vs. Kong. Brown will play Suzy who is described as: “A dorky and smart girl, who retreats into the quiet after she loses her best friend and decides to embark on a journey to find the truth about the real cause of her best friend’s death.” What’s the production status on The Thing About Jellyfish?
