“I always joke that I want to do grown-up Nancy Drew,” she told Cosmopolitan. “Where is she now? Like maybe she’s a little bit fallen off the tracks and needs to be set back.”

Emma starred in the 2007 Nancy Drew movie, which she she started filming when she was 14 years old and finished when she was 15. She also opened up about auditioning for the film and learning you could adapt books into movies at a young age.

“I loved the Nancy Drew books growing up. I remember buying ‘Nancy Drew and the Secret of the Old Clock’ at a flea market with my mom when I was a kid, and I had such a vision of Nancy Drew,” Emma told Cosmo.

“When I auditioned for it, they were like, ‘Look, you’re probably not going to get the part, you’re a little on the younger side, and da da da.’ I remember going to the Gap and buying an Argyle sweater and a headband—this whole outfit. I was like, ‘This is who Nancy Drew is—I know who she is,’” she continued.

“I ended up getting the part, and it was definitely something that drove my literary sense in movies and TV shows that I would later do,” Emma said. “I remember being like, ‘Wait, you can read a book and turn it into a movie—how do you do that?’ That was kind of a mind-blowing moment for me at 14 turning 15.”
