The actress' latest project will see her jumping from one popular franchise to another as she swaps out Jakku and "Star Wars" for an as-of-yet unknown role in the dystopian world of Prentisstown from Ness' popular YA book series, reported Digital Spy.
First published in 2008, the novels are set in a dystopian world where there are no women and all living creatures can hear each other's thoughts.
The first book in the trilogy, "The Knife of Never Letting Go", centers on a boy and his dog as they're forced to escape their home and stumble upon a strange and silent girl, which sets him on a journey to find out the truth about the new world.
"Edge of Tomorrow" director Doug Liman is on board to direct the big screen adaption, while Allison Shearmur and Doug Davison will be producing the film, which is scheduled to start production in 2017.
Ridley is attached to star in the remake of the Israel film "Kolma" with producer Robbie Brenner.
