Daisy Ridley has jumped on board a survival thriller, the next project from ‘1922’ filmmaker Zak Hilditch, ‘We Bury the Dead.’
The movie centres around grief, loss and the undead. Ridley plays Ava, a desperate woman whose husband is missing in the aftermath of a catastrophic military experiment. Hoping to find him alive, Ava joins a “body retrieval unit,” but her search takes a chilling turn when the corpses she’s burying start showing signs of life.

The film will be co-produced by Gramercy Park Media with the company’s Joshua Harris and Mark Fasano serving as producers, and Nathan Klingher and Ford Corbett executive producing.
Filming will begin in February 2024 in western Australia.
