Daisy Ridley to Star in Fantasy Romance KOLMA For Producer J.J. Abrams
Daisy Ridley is set to star in another J.J. Abrams produced film project called Kolma. The film is a fantasy thriller that is being directed by Marielle Heller, who previously directed Diary of a Teenage Girl.
Kolma will be a remake of Keren Margalit’s 2003 Israeli movie of the week, which was titled All I’ve Got. The story is described as “a cross between a loftier, more mystical version of The Notebook and Albert Brooks‘ 1991 fantasy romance Defending Your Life, the project follows a young couple who get in a car accident that leaves the man dead. 50 years later, the old woman is about to cross over and make the choice whether to reunite with her long-lost love in the hereafter or return to the fateful day her life changed forever.”
This sounds like a fascinating story and it sounds like a great project for Ridley to be a part of. She’s such a wonderful young actress and after seeing her in The Force Awakens, I’m looking forward to watching whatever else she ends up being a part of. She is also currently wanted for the upcoming Tomb Raider reboot that’s set up at Warner Bros.
It makes complete sense that Ridley and Abrams would work together again. After all, he’s the guy who gave the actress her big shot! The actress is currently shooting Star Wars: Episode VIII with director Rian Johnson.
