Daisy Ridley to Star in War Drama THE LOST WIFE

Daisy Ridley ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") has signed on to star in the drama "The Lost Wife". Based on the book by Alyson Richman, the film will tell the story of a talented art student in pre-war Prague who falls in love with her best friend’s older brother, but their romance is brutally interrupted by the imminent Nazi invasion.

The script is written by Marc Klein ("Serendipity", "A Good Year"). Michelle Chydzik, Jeff Waxman and Robbie Brenner are producing the film which is currently considered top priority. No studio or director have been attached to the project, so far.

Following the praise generated by her role in "The Force Awakens", Ridley has become one of the most sought after young actresses of the moment. She is currently working on "Episode VIII" of the "Star Wars" saga, but she has also joined the J.J. Abrams-produced remake "Kolma", and there are even talks of the actress being considered for a "Tomb Raider" big-screen reboot.
