Yahoo Movies First trailer for Daisy Ridley's new thriller Magpie
The first trailer for Daisy Ridley's new thriller Magpie has dropped online ahead of its release.
The trailer opens with the Star Wars actor in a car, struggling to get her seatbeat on while a baby caries in the back. That's already stressful enough, but then things get even more tense as we see the premise of the film unfold.
Ridley's character Anette is seemingly stuck in a loveless marriage with husband Ben (Star Trek: Discovery's Shazad Latif), and his head starts getting turned by movie star Alicia (Revenge's Matilda Lutz) when their child is cast in a film production.

Or at least, that's how she sees it. And that's enough for Anette to start taking action. What kind of sinister lengths will she go to? You'll have to wait and see to find out.
Interestingly, the idea for the film came from Ridley itself, and judging from all the critics quoted in the trailer, she really throws herself into the role.
This film follows on from another film that Ridley has received a ton of praise for: the biographical sports drama Young Woman and the Sea.

To portray real-life US Olympian Gertrude 'Trudy' Ederle, Ridley spent months undertaking open-water swimming training. In an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, she revealed that, despite all the work she had put in, she felt unprepared and scared when it came to filming the swimming scenes.
Looking ahead, Ridley has the zombie movie We Bury the Dead on the way, while at least one more movie following her Star Wars character Rey is in the works too.
Magpie will be released on October 25 in the US, and in November in the UK and Ireland.
