Clive Owen Joins Daisy Ridley in London-Set Action Thriller ‘Cleaner’ (EXCLUSIVE)1

Clive Owen has joined Star Wars star Daisy Ridley in the London-set action-thriller Cleaner.

Directed by Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell, the project follows a group of activists who ambush an energy companys annual meeting at the Shard one of Londons most recognizable skyscrapers and takes 300 people hostage.

However, the cause is hijacked by an extremist within the group whos ready to kill in order to send a message. It takes the efforts of Joey Locke, a former soldier whos now a window cleaner (played by Ridley), to save the hostages while ensuring the corporation is held to account.

Anton is selling the title in Cannes. The French-U.K. company, which was behind the 2021 Cannes sensation Greenland, is financing the project and also producing via Sebastien Raybaud and Callum Grant.

Production will begin in late summer, though its still unclear how much of the film will actually be able to shoot at the Shard, which is a popular tourist and business location. All rights are currently available. CAA Media Finance is co-repping domestic rights with Anton.

Owen, who is known for acclaimed roles in Children of Men and Closer, last starred in the actioner Gemini Man and Italian drama Romantic Guide to Lost Places. He will next appear in The Retreat for FX and Monsieur Spade for AMC

Ridleys forthcoming credits include the thriller Magpie and The Marsh Kings Daughter and Young Woman and the Sea. Shell also return as Rey in one of three new Star Wars movies.
