SEQUEL NEWS: DVD sales might help the possibility of a sequel but it's not likely...Stay tuned...BUT NOW--As of June 2009, the
untitled sequel at IMDb online's release date has been changed from 2009 to 2011 so could a sequel be in the works again or is this just
an across the board change where movies with '09 dates were updated to '11?
For a huge list of articles that have come out on Nancy Drew®
and the Sleuths' convention, that I was interviewed for, click
here.
In other words, Nancy's a great role model just like she was in the books and this film is a great family friendly movie.
You'll find Nancy transported from
Mid-Western River Heights to Hollywood California searching for clues to an old-time
movie star's death. Demure as ever, the world of Hollywood's teens is a harsh contrast, but ever our Nancy, she manages to win them over and catch a dastardly
villain in the end! Expect some spooky scenes in the old actress's house a la classic Nancy Drew® mystery stories.
During the promotional tour that Emma Roberts went on, in promoting her reading campaigns, she visited a school in the DC area with First Lady Laura Bush, who was a fan of the
books when she was a child, and also visited with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and read from the books when in Dallas. Below are a few photos from
the tour:
LATEST NEWS: (Updated July 2, 2009)
I was hired to consult on the movie, which was a lot of fun. As I have new updates on the film and it's promotion,
I will post them here. Visit fun links above: Cast List, Movie Stills, and the Movie's Official Website! Scroll down for images
of the various Nancy Drew® 2007 movie collectibles myteriously popping up everywhere! I attended the Hollywood premiere of the
movie on June 9th and it was so much fun! Click
here for photos from the premiere! It was a "Penny Loafer Fashion Moment" when I saw the movie in spirit for the third time
recently with my family. I enjoy it more each time I see it!
UPDATED DVD NEWS: March 11, 2008 was the date for the US release. In conjunction with the DVD release of the movie, there
was a really neat special edition version of the movie called Nancy Drew: Drew’s Clues.
Calling All Sleuths! Nancy Drew is in the theaters right now! GET A CLUE! Get out and see the movie!
Ignore the "Mean Girls" style trailer, that's really not what the film is all about! It's about a mystery--one of Nancy's
favorite things in the world. Nancy Drew in the film is classic--like in the books in that she's polite and kind and loves
to solve a mystery--she's very serious minded. She isn't worried about what others think and she doesn't change for anyone! In the end
the Ada and Isabel Topham types (remember The Secret of the Old Clock?) are won over.

The blue bag had a black light/flashlight for deciphering one of the clues on the wall which had to be read under black light, a magnifying glass, a pen, and a compass key chain. Also the map and clues finder sheet. And a caper booklet and denim pen.
The prize bag was a Dooney & Bourke totebag (they sponsored the party) which included a Dooney & Bourke catalog, a certificate to get $25.00 of a purchase of 150.00 or more--which featured the movie poster image on it, a rolled up mini movie poster, a bookmark, the movie soundtrack, and a black tee that featured "Nancy Drew" at the bottom of it in white. I have seen some of these items on eBay, minus the Dooney & Bourke tote which the seller(s) probably wanted to keep since it's a Dooney & Bourke. If you see these items listed at eBay, you might ask the seller about the Dooney & Bourke totebag, as they might be willing to part with it!

Some prizes also included Her Interactive Nancy Drew® computer games and also books from Papercutz.

Also shown above is a little mirror/compact item that was part of a promotion Nancy Drew Clue.com which involved a prize trip. There are some cute outtakes of kids talking about Nancy Drew®. The pink bag also went with the promotion--few were made--and also a headband came with it too--plaid--like Nancy wears in the movie. A movie style can with Guide to Life book inside given out at a studio screening on the lot--included a DVD of the movie trailer (not pictured).

Also given out with the books was a Cotton pen (not pictured), they had some neat posters and other advertising items (not pictured), and pictured above is a Cotton Caper shirt. I was sent a copy of The Secret of the Old Clock, which Warner Brothers was apparently sending out promotionally. 2007 printing. T-shirt featuring the movie poster.
Latest item is the clues notebook with a neat spy pen with the "Nancy Drew" logo on it--it writes in ink that you can see with the black light flashlight on the end of the pen! Seen at eBay.
