Daisy Ridley, Tom Bateman Talk Bringing Indie Thriller ‘Magpie’ to Life at SXSW World Premiere


Daisy Ridley and Tom Bateman explain how Ridley came up with the premise of the indie thriller 'Magpie' that had its world premiere Saturday at SXSW.

Daisy Ridley took a moment during the post-premiere Q&A for her indie thriller “ Magpie ” at SXSW on Saturday night to reflect on the journey of bringing the film to life. Ridley plays Annette, a tightly wound woman with two young children who struggles while watching her creepy husband (Shazad Latif) descend into an affair with an actress (Matilda Lutz) after the couple’s daughter is cast in a movie. At first the story was more focused on the husband’s budding affair, but as the pair built up the Annette character, it became clear that she was integral to making the film work.
