1905 Movie Network News The sports-themed film "The Girl and the Sea" starring Daisy Ridley was officially announced. According to the plan, the film is scheduled to be released on a small scale in North America on May 31.
The film will focus on Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first female athlete to cross the English Channel. Edrily was a good swimmer. Winning a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics also prompted her to try her hand at crossing the English Channel. In the early morning of August 6, 1926, she sailed from France to begin her own challenge of crossing the English Channel. Since only five men had previously completed the feat of crossing the English Channel, many people did not think highly of her, believing that women's innate conditions determined that they could not complete the challenge, but the daughter of a 21-year-old Manhattan butcher slapped them in the face with practical actions: not only did she complete the crossing, but she also completed the crossing in only 14 hours and 34 minutes, more than two hours faster than the male best.
Daisy Ridley has had a "fate" with this film for many years. The film was originally planned to be produced under the name Paramount, but later moved to Disney. Because Daisy Ridley and Disney collaborated on "Star Wars", she successfully won the lead role in this film. The film is based on the book of the same name written by Glenn Stott, directed by Joajim Ronney, and written by Jeff Nesanson.
