The Big Picture Everyone loves a true story told on the big screen, but some of them are just so impressive that transforming them into movies is practically mandatory. Today, Disney released a trailer for Young Woman and the Sea, which hits theaters on May 31. The movie stars Daisy Ridley as the legendary Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle who in 1926 became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
Young Woman and the Seahas been in the works since late 2020, and the early stages of production certainly had some limitations due to the COVID era.
The first trailer follows Gertrude Ederle , a championship swimmer who is determined to swim the 21 miles across the English Channel. But this being the 1920s, she faces her fair share of doubt from everyone around her, who feel that it's neither right nor possible for a woman to swim that distance.
The Team Behind 'Young Woman and the Sea' Close Young Woman and the Sea is directed by Joachim Rønning, a household name at Disney who has the peculiar talent of helming adventure movies and real-life stories: The perfect combination for the new title. Ronning also directed Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, but also Kon-Tiki, which tells a story similar to his new movie's.
Aside from Ridley, the cast from Young Woman and the Sea also features Tilda Cobhman-Hervey , Stephen Graham , Jeanette Hain and Christopher Eccleston .
