What is the production status of The Girls I’ve Been?
Official Production Status: Pre-Production (Last Updated: 29/11/2021)
Since the end of July 2020, the project has been in pre-production status. At the time of writing a director hasn’t been assigned to the movie, however, the delay in production may be due in part to the busy film schedule of Milly Bobby Brown.
Ever since the project was announced Milly Bobby Brown has been busy filming for Stranger Things season 4 and for Enola Holmes 2. It must also be noted that the actress will also be starring and producing in Damsel, a fantasy movie for Netflix.
Despite the fact that Damsel was announced some months after The Girls I’ve Been, it appears the former is a way ahead of the latter in terms of pre-production as Damsel already has a director in place, alongside a cinematographer and other key crew members.
It’s unclear when filming will take place for The Girls I’ve Been, but we expect filming will happen sometime in 2022
Who are the cast members of The Girls I’ve Been?
