Sophia Lillis Talks About the Pressure of Playing Nancy Drew

Sophia Lillis got her big break by playing the beloved role of Beverly in the remake of It and now she’s remaking another classic role!

The 17-year-old actress is playing the iconic teenage detective Nancy Drew in the new movie Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, which is in theaters now.

We caught up with Sophia to learn about the pressures of playing a classic character, how she bonded with the cast, and what she did to get into the mindset of Nancy. Check it out:

Just Jared: Nancy Drew is such an iconic character. Were you nervous about taking the role because of that? Was there any kind of pressure for you?

Sophia Lillis: Yes! It was a lot of pressure! She is such an iconic character. Even though I didn’t read too many of the books when I was younger, I certainly knew who she was. And everyone on the crew were huge fans and kept coming up to me saying how important she was to them-so, yeah, lots of pressure.

JJ: The Hidden Staircase is actually the second book of the novel series. Did you know about the series before taking the role? What changed from the book?

SL: The character in the book is much less reliant on her family and friends. In the book her Dad is barely even there but the movie really focuses on her relationship with her Dad after the death of her Mother. In the book she really goes off on her own to solve the mystery but in the movie she definitely needs the help of her friends.

JJ: What kind of bonding did you do with the cast before kicking off filming, if any?

SL: We had a week of rehearsals. Katt Shea (the director) is also an acting coach so we played a lot of acting games. We would do a scene like we were in a soap opera or sing it like a real opera. It was a lot of fun and helped us learn the lines at the same time.
