Daisy Ridley and J.J. Abrams Reunite for KOLMA

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams and star Daisy Ridley are set to join forces once again for Paramount's fantasy film "Kolma". Abrams will produce the film with Ridley in talks to star and "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" director Marielle Heller in negotiations to direct. Megan Holley ("Sunshine Cleaning") wrote the script.

The film is based on the 2003 Israeli TV movie "All I've Got" ("Kol Ma She'Yesh Li") which followed a 22 year-old woman who is in a terrible car accident that kills her boyfriend. Decades later, when the woman dies, she is given the choice of returning to the day of the accident to live again as a 22-year-old or being reunited with her love.

The seventh episode in the "Star Wars" saga was Ridley's first feature film role. She is currently shooting the sequel, "Episode VIII", directed by Rian Johnson. As for Heller, her 2015 directorial debut "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" earned her a lot of praise and awards, including a Directors Guild of America nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director, as well as trophies at the Berlin and Independent Spirit awards.
