Daisy Ridley’s heading from a galaxy far, far away to New York City. The “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” star has signed on to topline “Daddio,” a spec project penned by Christy Hall. Variety broke the news.

The drama centers on Ridley’s character, who is picked up by a cab at JFK airport. She and her cabdriver “begin discussing their past and current relationships and the effects those relationships have had on their lives” on the way to her Manhattan apartment, the source writes.

If the timing on the project aligns, Ridley may shoot “Daddio” before buckling down for prep on “Star Wars: Episode IX,” which kicks off production June of next year. Ridley also has a number of other projects in the works, including Holocaust drama “The Lost Wife,” Marielle Heller’s fantasy thriller “Kolma,” and Claire McCarthy’s “Ophelia,” a re-imagining of William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” co-starring Naomi Watts.

When asked how she’s changed since her epic “Star Wars” journey began, the British actress said, “I definitely feel like my voice has more weight now. It’s funny, because when I was doing voice coaching before — because I was slightly posher in it than I am day to day — the voice coach said that I do a thing like when I’m talking and I used to lose my voice at the end of sentences a lot and that’s an emotional thing, because a lot of the time I felt like what I was saying had no weight, and that there was no point in what I was saying, and I don’t do that anymore. So that’s a nice thing,” she observed. “I feel like when people have appreciated you as much as they have, for you as a person, it gives you such a wonderful sense of self. I’m still learning who I am, and still learning and testing my capabilities, but to be surrounded by people who care is great.”

Ridley can be seen next in Agatha Christie adaptation “Murder on the Orient Express,” in theaters November 10, and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” out December 15.
