Tron Ares & Young Woman and the Sea Director Joachim Rønning Interview

One thing seems clear about Disney's new Young Woman and the Sea, and that's the magic it took to get this incredible true story to the big screen. The movie stars Daisy Ridley as Trudy Ederle, the first woman to ever successfully swim the English Channel. The film is based on the inspiring true story covered in the Glenn Stout novel, yet it still took over seven years to make. It turns out that attempting to capture "the beauty and the dangers" of the ocean is a harrowing task, but one the cast and crew were more than qualified for.
In this interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, director Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) sings the praises of Ridley, who also serves as executive producer, calling her a "force of nature" who "gave her all" to the production. Young Woman and the Sea is the first time Trudy's story has been told onscreen, and it was important for the team behind this movie to make sure audiences could feel the passion of its subject and the dedication to making this movie a cinematic experience.
During their conversation, Rønning discusses how Ridley inspired him on set every day and why the ocean is a recurring character throughout his filmography. The director, who will be helming the upcoming untitled Pirates of the Caribbean project with Disney, also compares the challenges of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to those they tackled on Young Woman and the Sea.
