The Big Picture Actors take on any number of challenges when stepping into a new role. The same can be said for Emma Myers when she took on the role of Pip in the Netflix series A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. The actress, originally from Orlando, Florida, told Variety that she actually learned Pip's British accent in two weeks, thanks to a dialogue coach. "Also I had an all-English crew and cast.
Taking on the character in the young adult murder mystery, while much closer to Myers herself than her Wednesday character Enid, for example, Myers says "ost people assume that it’s easy to play a character that’s like you, but it’s actually way harder and I wanted that challenge." In addition to those challenges, she says of learning the accent, "I had people looking out for me in that way as well, which was good. I needed that. But yeah, it was a bit daunting, but it was fun.
Emma Myers Knows How "Hard" It Can Be Taking a Book From Paper to Screen Close The author of the book, Holly Jackson, had a great deal of input on the adaptation, but as she recently told Variety, Jackson provided notes but wasn't ultimately the one writing the script. Myers shares sympathy with the fans for disappointment in the omissions from the show's first season, for example, the character of Stanley.
Overall, Myers says she thinks they've done the best they could. She says, "it’s always hard adapting something from book to screenplay." Myers cites the book's format as part of those challenges. "I mean, sometimes it’s just not going to flow, especially because the book’s written a lot of the time in police reports and Pip’s diary and notes and all that." A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is available to stream on Netflix in the US.
