Daisy Ridley has landed the lead in “Casino Royale” director Martin Campbell’s next film “Dedication”. Dan Gordon penned the script.
Ridley plays Major Billie Jean Parker, a decorated Marine Corps commander relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties, despite capturing anarchist leader Omar Romatas.
Facing the loss of her career, she visits her dying former Marine father who asks her to attend a dedication ceremony for a school building named in his honor.
The event takes a deadly turn when Omar’s vengeful son, Bento, launches an assault, taking hostages. Forced back into combat, Billie Jean sets traps and executes precise strikes to outwit the attackers.
Her tactical instincts and ruthless efficiency shift the fight, as she confronts her past and proves her worth in a relentless battle that will define her legacy.
Campbell and Ridley recently worked together on the film “Cleaner”. “Dedication” is set to launch at the American Film Market this week.
Phil Hunt, Valentin Dimitrov and Sagiv Diamant produce.
