Daisy Ridley, best known for her iconic role in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, stars in the upcoming horror-survival thriller We Bury the Dead, directed by Zak Hilditch. The film will have its international debut with a special preview at the Adelaide Film Festival in Australia this November.
Ridley plays a desperate woman who joins a body retrieval squad after a catastrophic military experiment wipes out Tasmania's population. She aims to find her missing husband, but she discovers a disturbing truth: many of the bodies she recovers are not quite dead.
Ridley's character experiences the psychological effects of her mission as she makes her way through the barren landscape of southern Tasmania, growing thinner by the minute.

The picture is produced by Ross Dinerstein, who has previously worked with Hilditch on films such as Rattlesnake and 1922. Dinerstein's background with tense thrillers compliments Hilditch's direction, implying a close working relationship between the two.
Kelvin Munro and Grant Sputore from The Penguin Empire, a West Australian production firm renowned for films like The Furnace and I Am Mother, are also part of the production crew.
Their participation gives the movie a distinctively local viewpoint. In addition, producers Mark Fasano and Joshua Harris from Gramercy Park are involved, lending their knowledge to the endeavor. This varied team of producers emphasizes a fusion of local and global inspirations that ought to deepen the movie's impact.
We Bury the Dead receives significant financing from Screen Australia, Lotterywest, Screenwest, and the WA Regional Screen Fund. This strong backing from Australian film organizations emphasizes the project's prominence in the industry. Peachtree Media Partners and Gramercy Park Media also gave financial support, ensuring the film's production.
Star Wars: New Jedi Order, which is anticipated to bring Ridley Scott back to the Star Wars universe, will carry on The Rise of Skywalker's narrative and heighten fan anticipation for the film series.
