Melissa McCarthy to Star in 'Miss Nelson Is Missing' Netflix Adaptation

Netflix is working on a movie based on the book 'Miss Nelson Is Missing'.

Melissa McCarthy, who is a famous actress, will be the main star and will likely play both the teacher, Miss Nelson, and her substitute, Viola Swamp.

The story is about a class whose teacher disappears, and a strict substitute takes over.

Several companies, including Hello Sunshine and Grey Matter, will help make the movie.

The writer, Brad Copeland, has worked on other family-friendly movies before.

This is one of several projects that McCarthy has in the works.
