Daisy Ridley is currently deep into filming Star Wars VIII, and although she may be busy meeting Prince Harry she’s also making room for another film with JJ Abrams.
According to Variety, Ridley is set to appear in Abrams’ supernatural drama Kolma, a remake of the Israeli TV movie Kol Ma - which translates to “All I’ve Got”.
The story centres on a man who died in a car accident 50 years ago and is waiting for his wife in the afterlife. When she dies, she is given the choice to return to the moment of the accident or reuniting with her lover. It all sounds very unlike Star Wars.
