Another week, another new tease about the upcoming Rey-centric Star Wars movie from star Daisy Ridley, and her excitement is reaching new levels.
As work on the script progresses slowly, Star Wars sequel protagonist Ridley isn’t dodging questions about her future as Rey Skywalker. Only less than two weeks ago, she teased the “different direction” for the franchise that her movie would represent, and now she’s starting use more colorful language to help illustrate how excited she truly is about the pitch.
The indie drama Sometimes I Think About Dying (can relate) opens in theaters tomorrow, and she’s been promoting it quite a bit as of late. It’s now Variety’s turn to chat with her, and her Star Wars return naturally popped up towards the end of the interview. Regarding the story that two-time Oscar winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is working with, she said the following: “I’m excited to do the job, but not because Sharmeen is a woman. Her documentaries are amazing. Her idea for the story is cool as s**t. No spoilers, but she gave me a rundown of the entire story. If it weren’t amazing, I would have been like, “Ok, call me in five years.” But it’s worthwhile.”
