Ridley has a busy slate coming up, with the actress teaming up with her husband Tom Bateman on new movie Magpie.
"I had the idea of [it], and my husband has written [it], and I'm starring in [it] of course," she told AP in January of the project. "And we have an amazing cast and an amazing crew, and it's very exciting. Yes, so we will be shooting for a month, fast."
"This was also really a good experience in how to achieve so much with very limited money and very limited time, when you're thoughtful and everyone clubs together, and it's very intentional," the star added.
