Daisy Ridley as Gertrude Ederle in Young Woman and the Sea
The Big Picture Even Olympic gold-medal winners need a confidence boost sometimes! Ahead of the release of the Daisy Ridley-led Young Woman and the Sea, anticipation for the project is already growing, and Collider is excited to exclusively share a sneak peek at the movie. Originally slated to premiere on Disney+, the movie will instead swim its way into theaters on May 31, and will star Ridley as Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
The clip opens with Ridley's Trudy standing on the end of a pier looking out at the water, alone until she's joined by her sister Meg . It's clear she's already thinking about the swim across the Channel — 21 miles across, as she tells Meg after a bit of prompting. It's a moot point, as Trudy doesn't think there's any point in trying, not in a patriarchal society that views women as it does.
In addition to Ridley and Cobham-Harvey, the Joachim Rønning-directed movie also stars Kim Bodnia and Jeanette Hain as Trudy's parents Henry and Gertrude, Christopher Eccleston as Jabez Wolffe, and Stephen Graham as Bill Burgess, as two men who trained with Trudy as she prepared for the challenge, both of whom had wildly different impacts on her attempts.
What Else Does Daisy Ridley Have Coming Up? Earlier this year, Ridley launched her neo-noir thriller Magpie at SXSW, which Collider's Chase Hutchinsoncalled "Daisy Ridley at her best." She also recently wrapped filming on the action-thriller Cleaner opposite Clive Owen, from director Martin Campbell.
