An upcoming fantasy movie featuring Millie Bobby Brown, Damsel, as the name suggests will revolve around a “damsel”. But with the director like Juan Carlos Fresnadillo who has been nominated for Oscars and script writers like Dan Mazeau, Damsel will not simply adhere to the “damsel in distress” trope. In fact, from what we gather, it will revolve around a powerful and independent female protagonist who does need the “knight in shining armour” to save herself from dragons, when she can defeat the dragons herself. 

The logline of the movie reads:

“After first being locked in a tower and then hidden deep in the forest to prevent a prince from rescuing her, long-haired Rapunzel vows to get revenge.”

Produced by Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum under their Roth Kirschenbaum Films banner, the movie is executively produced by Brown, Mazeau, Zack Roth and Chris Castaldi. Garnering yet another Netflix project under her belt alongside Stranger Things and Enola Holmes, Millie Bobby Brown is now touted to be one of Netflix’s most sought-after actresses. Her fans just can’t get enough of her.

The official synopsis for Damsel, via Netflix, reads:

“It’s a taut contained thriller about a Princess that thinks she is marrying a prince only to be thrown into a pit where she is being sacrificed to a dragon. Brown plays Elodie, who’s anxiously awaiting her wedding to Prince Henry and feeling pressure from her Father, who needs the money her marriage will bring, be a good, obedient wife.

After marrying Henry, Elodie realizes she’s been tricked into becoming a sacrificial offering for a cruel dragon who intends to eat her. Elodie must fight her way out of the dragon’s lair and eventually saves herself by slaying the Dragon.”

What’s even more interesting, New York Times bestselling author Evelyn Skye, who is popular for books like The Crown’s Game, Three Kisses, One Midnight and The Hundred Loves of Juliet, has decided to adapt the screenplay into a novel which will reportedly release on March 14th, 2023. The announcement of the same came in October 2022.
