Deadline reports that Star Wars alums Daisy Ridley and Alden Ehrenreich are set to headline The Last Resort, a new romantic comedy directed by Donald Petrie (Miss Congeniality, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). 

The film, produced and financed by Asia Pacific Films, is set to begin production in April.

Written by Karen McCullah (Legally Blonde, 10 Things I Hate About You), the film follows Brooke (Ridley), an ambitious woman determined to prove her ability to run her father’s hotel empire. She travels to the Philippines to scout a new resort location, where she meets Ben (Ehrenreich), a charismatic expatriate pilot. 

As their relationship develops, Brooke is faced with the dilemma of choosing between her established life and an unexpected new future.
