First look at Daisy Ridley's new zombie movie We Bury the Dead

Star Wars and Murder on the Orient Express actor Daisy Ridley's new zombie film We Bury the Dead has released a first-look image.

The film stars Ridley as a woman who joins a group that travels to Tasmania in the aftermath of a disastrous military experiment, with the intention of retrieving the bodies of those lost.

Ridley's character is specifically looking for her husband, desperately hoping that he somehow survived. But this is a zombie film, so all of those bodies may not be as dead as the team expected.

.We Bury the Dead will receive its world premiere shortly, and it's also been confirmed for a special screening at the Adelaide Film Festival in November, after wrapping up production in Australia earlier this year.

It was directed by 1922 and Rattlesnake helmer Zak Hilditch, and also stars Titans' Brenton Thwaites and Mystery Road: Origin's Mark Coles Smith.
