Daisy Ridley Actress -
Sarah Stewart / Starface
We haven't seen the British actress on screen since her role as Rey in
Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker
!
Daisy Ridley will play the heroine of the Disney + film
Young Woman and the Sea
(
La Jeune Femme et la mer
in French), according to the American site
Deadline
.
Adaptation of Glenn Stout's novel released in 2009, this biopic will tell the feat of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926. Gold medal at the 1924 Olympic Games, the American swimmer Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle had launched this challenge, while only five men had achieved this performance before her.
The direction was entrusted to the director of
Pirates of the Caribbean 5
, the Norwegian Joaquim Rønning and the script to Jeff Nathanson, to whom we owe
Indiana Jones 4
and
The Lion King
.
The film is slated for release in 2021. The star of the latest Star Wars trilogy will also star in
Chaos Walking
, a blockbuster in which she plays Tom Holland.
