\n\tEXCLUSIVE: The Netflix<\/a> sports drama Perfect<\/a> will no longer be moving forward at the streamer after star Millie Bobby Brown<\/a> exited the project. Sources say Brown\u2019s departure had to do with creative differences with producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrown was set to play Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug in the pic, which was set to go into production this summer but will now be scrapped.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix and Brown\u2019s reps had no comment on her exit.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline first reported last fall<\/a> that Brown was set to star as the iconic Olympian, with Gia Coppola directing and Ronnie Sandahl writing the script. Coppola left the project earlier this year and was replaced by Cate Shortland. The film was set to follow Strug, a member of the 1996 USA women\u2019s gymnastics team dubbed \u201cthe Magnificent Seven,\u201d who played a huge role in clinching the team gold after performing the vault on a badly injured ankle.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe photo of her landing her vault perfectly and then having that ankle give out, only to have her coach Bela Karolyi\u00a0carry her off the mat, is considered one of the most memorable images in Olympic history.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix is\u00a0very much still in the Millie business and looking forward to Enola Holmes 3, which is set to bow sometime this year. They also have a number of films in development at the studio with Brown attached to star that include Just Picture It and Nineteen Steps (the latter adapted from Brown\u2019s debut novel).<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix and Brown are also coming off the record-breaking final season of Stranger Things, which had its series finale in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: The Netflix sports drama Perfect will no longer be moving forward at the streamer after star Millie…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,10716,1094,111,139,69,29392],"class_list":{"0":"post-373488","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-millie-bobby-brown","11":"tag-netflix","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-perfect"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373488"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373488\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373488"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
