Daisy Ridley Set To Star in Adaptation of The Psychological Thriller THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER
Star Wars star Daisy Ridley has jumped on board and new project and is set to star in the movie adaptation of the psychological-thriller novel The Marsh King’s Daughter.
Ridley will take on the role of Helena, “a woman living a seemingly ordinary life, but hiding a dark secret: her father is the infamous ‘Marsh King,’ the man who kept her and her mother captive in the wilderness for years. After a lifetime of trying to escape her past, Helena is forced to face her demons when her father unexpectedly escapes from prison.”
That sounds like quite an intense and interesting story, and it’ll be a great role for Ridley to take on. She’ll next be seen in Doug Liman’s big-canvas sci-fi Chaos Walking. Neil Burger (Limitless, Divergent) is set to direct the film, and the script comes from The Revenant screenwriter Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith.
Principal photography is due to get underway this summer in Canada.
