Daisy Ridley to Lead Action Thriller Movie Dedication From Casino Royale Director

Highland Film Group has announced the casting of Star Wars vet Daisy Ridley, who has signed for the leading role in the upcoming action thriller titled, Dedication. Production is expected to begin in Spring 2025 in the Philippines, and in Europe.

Ridley is no stranger to the action genre, after playing the lead characters in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The actress also starred Chaos Walking, where she performed some of her own stunts. She recently starred in the Young Woman and the Sea biopic, and will next be seen in the survival thriller We Bury the Dead. She is also set to reprise her iconic role as Rey Skywalker in an untitled Star Wars movie, which will reportedly see Rey rebuild the Jedi Order.

What is Dedication about?

“In the film, Major Billie Jean Parker (Ridley), a decorated Marine Corps commander, is relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties, despite capturing anarchist leader Omar Romatas,” reads the official synopsis. “Facing the loss of her career, she visits her dying father, Clyde, a former Marine, who asks her to attend a dedication ceremony for a school building named in his honor. The event takes a deadly turn when Omar Romatas’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.”

Dedication will be directed by Casino Royale’s Martin Campbell from a screenplay written by Dan Gordon. The film is executive produced by Arianne Fraser, Delphine Perrier, and casting director Gaby Whyte Hart. It is produced by Phil Hunt, Valentin Dimitrov, and Sagiv Diamant.
