The film was written by Dan Gordon (Wyatt Earp, The hurricane), and is produced by Highland Film Group. CEO Arianne Fraser said in a statement:
“What a thrill to collaborate with a director of the pedigree of Martin Campbell, whose eye for large-scale action was showcased spectacularly in the Bond franchise.
“Daisy Ridley will perfectly embody the many facets of a fallen war hero who is forced to fight one last time.”
Delphine Perrier, COO of Highland, added: “It’s fantastic to have Martin and Daisy together again for Dedication. Martin is the ideal director to bring Dan Gordon’s complex and electrifying screenplay to life.
