Daisy Ridley is in negotiation to star in The Ice Beneath Her, a psychological thriller acquired by STX.
Ridley played Rey, the protagonist in the last Star Wars films, and the upcoming movie is based on the 2015 novel by Swedish author Camilla Grebe.
The Ice Beneath Her follows a criminal profiler brought in to help solve a murder case that bears a resemblance to a previously unsolved murder 10 years earlier.
The profiler is given the task of tracking the charismatic playboy CEO of a store chain who has mysteriously gone missing.
But another woman is also searching for the CEO as she had a passionate affair with him months before his disappearance.
The Ice Beneath Her will be produced and directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella.
Ridley was last seen in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the concluding chapter in the beloved saga.
She will be seen in Lionsgate’s sci-fi Chaos Walking alongside Tom Holland.
