A new film version of ''Nancy Drew'' had been in the works at Warner Bros. since the mid-1990s. However, nothing came to fruition until the mid-2000s. On June 15, 2007, [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] released a new film titled ''[[Nancy Drew (2007 film)|Nancy Drew]]'', with [[Emma Roberts]] starring as Nancy, [[Max Thieriot]] as Ned Nickerson, and [[Tate Donovan]] as Carson Drew; [[Andrew Fleming]] directed and cowrote the film with Tiffany Paulsen, while [[Jerry Weintraub]] produced. This film sees Nancy move to Los Angeles with her father on an extended business trip and pick the house of a murdered movie star as their house to solve the cold case.

As with the earlier ''Drew'' films, reactions were mixed. Some see the film as an updated version of the basic character: "Although it has been glammed up for the lucrative tween demographic, the movie retains the best parts of the books, including, of course, their intelligent main character."<ref>Cheong (2007).</ref> Others find the movie "jolting" because Nancy's "new classmates prefer shopping to sleuthing, and Nancy's plaid skirt, [[penny loafers]], and magnifying glass make her something of a dork, not the town hero she was in the Midwest."<ref>Brown (2007), D1.</ref> Before the release of the 2007 film, Roberts, Fleming, and Weintraub had signed on for two ''Nancy Drew'' sequels, but these films were never made.
