Fresh off her breakout work in Wuthering Heights, Alison Oliver is reteaming with LuckyChap to star in the period revenge thriller Bad Bridgets.
Oliver is replacing Daisy Edgar Jones (Twisters) in the feature that is written and will be directed by Rich Peppiatt, the filmmaker behind the BAFTA-lauded Kneecap. Jones is said to have stepped aside due to scheduling conflicts.
Emilia Jones remains on board to star in the project, which is being produced by LuckyChap, the banner run by Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerly, Josey McNamara, and Milan Popelka; and Coup d’Etat, Peppiatt’s production banner.
The script was inspired by the book Bad Bridget: Crime, Mayhem, and the Lives of Irish Emigrant Women by Elaine Farrell and Leanne McCormick and has been developed with the support of Belfast’s Queens University.
