We Bury the Dead director says Star Wars' Daisy Ridley was "pushed to her limit" shooting the new zombie horror: "I hadn't seen her anything quite like this"

Daisy Ridley as Ava in We Bury the Dead.

Star Wars' Daisy Ridley was "pushed to her limit" filming new zombie horror We Bury the Dead – though the promise of that was a big reason she signed onto the project, says writer-director Zak Hilditch.

Also starring Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), the movie offers up a unique take on post-apocalyptic dread, as it sees Ridley's physical therapist Ava travel to Tasmania, Australia to try and track down her husband Mitch. She's not heard from him since the US accidentally detonated an experimental weapon off the Eastern coast of the island and wiped out Hobart, a city close to where Mitch was shacked up on a business trip – but she's hopeful he might have survived.
