‘Cleaner’: Daisy Ridley To Lead Action Thriller Movie

Star Wars legend Daisy Ridley is said to star in the upcoming action thriller, Cleaner. The movie is set on the Shard, which is said to be the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe. 

According to director Martin Campbell, this “stomach-churning, vertiginous experience,” Cleaner seems to be an excellent fit for Ridley. He admitted to the press, “There isn’t a more intuitive and powerful actress than Daisy right now to help us do just that. Most of my movies have been thrillers, and Cleaner is one of the best I’ve ever read.” Campbell is mainly known for his work in Casino Royale. 

The synopsis reads, 

“Set in present-day London. The film will see radical activists take over an energy company’s annual gala at the Shard – the tallest skyscraper in Western Europe – seizing 300 hostages to expose the corruption of the hosts.”

“Their just cause is hijacked by a zealous extremist within their ranks, ready to murder everyone in the building to send his anarchic message to the world. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner, Joey Locke – suspended 90 stories up on the outside of the building – to save those trapped inside and take down the killers while also finding a way to bring the corrupt energy moguls to justice.”
