Daisy Ridley is bracing for the 'emotional' 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' in December, but first, she stars in a Hamlet rewrite of 'Ophelia.'
Patrick RyanNEW YORK – What's more frightening than the impending return of Emperor Palpatine?
"It feels scary," says Ridley, 27, perched on a couch in USA TODAY's office."I've had a secure job for the past few years, but come January, it's going to be like, 'What now?'" "Ophelia needed to be a character who has a moral compass to her, but not in an old-school way," director Claire McCarthy says."Daisy brings such self-determination and resilience to her. We wanted her to feel like she would survive this situation, as opposed to being undone by it, like in the original."
I read somewhere that Gertrude is more interesting because she's more mixed up, but it's a weird thing to assume that people have to be all dramatic for them to be interesting characters. Ophelia has a clear moral conscience that doesn't change. She knows the way that people live in the palace is wrong. Hamlet has bloodlust on his mind and she's not going to wait for him to change it. She’s just quietly doing her thing.
