Daisy Ridley Set To Star in a New Action Thriller DEDICATION From Director Martin Campbell
Daisy Ridley is set to star in a new action thriller titled Dedication, which comes from director Martin Campbell, the director of Casino Royale and GoldenEye. Campbell and Ridley recently worked together on the film project Cleaner.
Dedication follows Major Billie Jean Parker (Ridley), “a decorated Marine Corps commander who is relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties, despite capturing anarchist leader Omar Romatas.
“Facing the loss of her career, she visits her dying father, Clyde, a former Marine, who asks her to attend a dedication ceremony for a school building named in his honor.
“The event takes a deadly turn when Omar Romatas’s vengeful son, Bento, launches an assault, taking hostages. Forced back into combat, Billie Jean sets traps and executes precise strikes to outwit the attackers.
“Her tactical instincts and ruthless efficiency shift the fight, as she confronts her past and proves her worth in a relentless battle that will define her legacy.”
The film was written by Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp, The Hurricane), and it is being produced by Highland Film Group. CEO Arianne Fraser said in a statement:
“What a thrill to collaborate with a director of Martin Campbell’s pedigree whose eye for big-scale action was on spectacular display in the Bond franchise.
“Daisy Ridley will perfectly embody the multiple facets of a fallen war hero who is forced into combat mode one last time.”
Highland COO Delphine Perrier added: “It’s fantastic to have Martin and Daisy teaming up again for Dedication. Martin is the ideal director to bring Dan Gordon’s complex and electrifying script to life.
“It’s a riveting story loaded with engaging characters and we look forward to introducing this powerful adventure to our global partners.”
This sounds like it will be a great film project for Ridley to jump into while she’s waiting to go back to the galaxy far far away.
