The iron is hot, and Daisy Ridley gets it. That is why the actress o.k.a. Rey has lined up a new project titled The Lost Wife, thankyouverymuch. A World War II drama based on the novel by one Alyson Richman, the film will center on a young Jewish artist in pre-war Prague, who becomes separated from her husband when the Nazis come. She flees and ends up in America, which is a total struggle, but, eventually, she and her man reunite decades later. So a bittersweet tale then? Photo: Pinterest.com.
Daisy Ridley realizes that working with J.J. Abrams was a very good thing for her. Which is why the Star Wars: The Force Awakens breakout is gonna do it again. Ridley is thisclose to nabbing the starring role in the Abrams-produced fantasy drama Kolma that The Diary of a Teenage Girl’s Marielle Heller is already on board to direct. The long-gestating project will revolve around a young woman who once was in a car accident that claimed her boyfriend. Decades later, upon dying she is given the opportunity to go back to that day and make it so she and her man can be reunited and, one would hope, live happily ever after.
I hope she doesn’t do it. Daisy Ridley is reportedly in the running to play Lara Croft in a reboot of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Now, here’s why I think the Star Wars: The Force Awakens breakout should avoid this project: Because she is Rey. She doesn’t need to do something big and loud and flashy and splashy and money because she already is Rey. She should go for something more earthly – something that will showcase her, not the Hollywood post-production machine. Plus, this would absolutely pigeonhole her, and nobody wants that, right?

OMG, you guys. Rey. It is all about Rey now. Yes, I just finally saw J.J. Abrams’ winningStar Wars: The Force Awakens, and all I gotta say is long live Daisy Ridley and long live her Rey! Photo: Mashable.com.

Now this...this should break the Internet, alright. There has been an awakening, people – just in time for Black Friday. Yes! The first teaser for next December’s J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens has hit the Web. And it. Looks. Fan-friggin’-tastic.

There are stormtroopers, a new kind of droid, X-wing fighters, a new kind of lightsaber, and even the Millennium Falcon, kids.
