Not only that, but IGN has revealed that she has been approached to play the role of iconic Lara Croft. Not much is known about the Lara Croft reboot but considering how dud Angelina Jolie performed, we have the room to expect a lot more. Here’s a video on that:
The Lost Wife is yet to find any studio, much less a release date but we believe that Ridley has the ability to shock us with her marvelous performance. Marc Klein is to write the script whereas Robbie Brenner, Michelle Chydzik, and Jeff Waxman are producers, the director is yet to be decided.
According to Variety, The movie is based on the book by Alyson Richman and tells the story of Lenka (Daisy), a Jewish artist who falls in love with his best friend’s other brother as they fall madly in love with each other with the reign of Nazi’s shattering their perfect life.
We are really excited to see how the movie will turn out with such interesting plots to occupy us.
