Daisy Ridley leads Voyage remake
The epic journey into the deep is about to get a dose of high-seas adventure, thanks to a major new project landing on Paramount+ and Legendary Television. Star Wars star Daisy Ridley is set to star as the brilliant ocean scientist at the heart of the adventure, bringing her star power to a reimagining of the classic tale, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
The story kicks off when Lee Crane, portrayed by Ridley, is thrust into a world far more mysterious than the surface world. Following a catastrophic Arctic expedition that claimed the life of her twin sister, Lee is pulled into a highly classified government program. Her quest for answers takes her deep beneath the waves, chasing shadows that threaten to rewrite human history.
At the epicenter of this unfolding drama is the USS Seaview, a submarine that has been mysteriously found entombed in the ice. This retro-futuristic vessel is not just a vessel; it is a portal. The Seaview is marked with symbols from an impossibly ancient history, and it only activates when Lee steps aboard, unlocking secrets locked away beneath the waves.
Taking command of the Seaview, Lee and her pressure-cooker crew must navigate daring undersea missions, forming an uneasy alliance with powerful government figures. Their mission is to contain mysterious forces that are actively leaking into our world, forcing them to confront a hidden truth about the oceans and the deep history of humanity.
As Lee delves deeper, she uncovers astonishing revelations: an erased chapter of human history and the existence of the mythical city of Atlantis. This is an adventure where the laws of physics are optional and the deepest secrets of the sea are waiting to be discovered.
Adding further creative depth to the project are some familiar names. Ridley is not just starring; she is also executive producing the series alongside renowned writer Akiva Goldsman, known for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and director Matt Shakman, who brought brilliance to WandaVision. These creative forces are guiding the narrative, promising a rich blend of cinematic storytelling and deep lore.
The production is backed by Legendary TV and the Irwin Allen Estate, ensuring that this epic reimagining of the underwater world is crafted with a foundation of cinematic legacy. Get ready for a voyage where the adventure is just beginning.
