Daisy Ridley is reportedly eyeing a reunion with her “Star Wars” director J.J Abrams.
Paramount and Abram’s Bad Robot are chasing the British beauty for the film adaptation of Michelle Adelman’s novel “Piece of Mind” that they’re putting together. Ryan Knighton is scripting.
Here’s the summary of the book from Goodreads :
At twenty-seven, Lucy knows everything about coffee, comic books, and Gus (the polar bear at the Central Park Zoo), and she possesses a rare gift for drawing. But since she suffered a traumatic brain injury at the age of three, she has had trouble relating to most people. She’s also uncommonly messy, woefully disorganized, and incapable of holding down a regular job. When unexpected circumstances force her out of the comfortable and protective Jewish home where she was raised and into a cramped studio apartment in New York City with her college-age younger brother, she must adapt to an entirely different life—one with no safety net. Over the course of a challenging summer, Lucy is forced to discover that she has more strengths than she herself knew.
Ridley worked with Abrams on “Star Wars : The Force Awakens” as well as the upcoming “Star Wars Episode IX”.
