Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts to Star in Hamlet Film, 'Ophelia'
Shakespeare nerds, rejoice! According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts have signed on to star in Ophelia, a film interpretation of one of the most inescapable plays from our high school reading days—Hamlet.
The film, which will be directed by Claire McCarthy and produced by Daniel Bobker, Ehren Kruger and Sarah Curtis, is an adaptation of Lisa Klein's 2006 YA novel. Ridley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Tomb Raider) is set to play Ophelia, while Watts will be Gertrude, Hamlet's mother and the queen of Denmark.
