Sometimes I Think About Dying (2024)

[spanky87]

Director: Rachel Lambert

Cast: Daisy Ridley, Dave Merheje, Parvesh Cheena, Brittany O’Grady

Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran wastes her daylight hours in the solitude of a cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates, occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life unable to pop her bubble of isolation. And then Robert starts up at the company. He is new to town and the dynamics of the office. He is a naturally friendly person who keeps trying to chat with Fran. Though it goes against every fiber of her being, she may have to give this guy a chance.

Director Rachel Lambert and team craft beautiful cinema for this delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. The film is made all the more human by its lovely cast, most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actor-producer Daisy Ridley and the caring smile of lead actor, Dave Merheje. Sometimes I Think About Dying is an unexpected fable on the virtues of living.

It's always nice to hear about upcoming movies starring Daisy Ridley, since it seems like she has disappeared somewhat since TRoS.

Stop baiting/trolling. You made this exact first post in another movie thread and derailed it:

Good to see Daisy in new films in theaters, etc.
At first, I wasn't sure if the thread title was the name of a movie or if someone was depressed about movies in general. Interesting movie story idea considering many people work from home more often these days since 2020.

The film is based on this short from a few years ago:

I think it’s unlikely for a small film like this to get a theatrical release these days. Maybe limited. I expect it’ll be picked up for distribution by a streamer after its Sundance premiere.

For a second I thought the title of this thread was a cry for help.

No, that will be the thread that I start soon.

I fear Daisy Ridley will never escape the shadow of being Rey. One of the most iconic female characters in the last decade of cinema, how could she? Nobody will see her as anything but Rey. Same way people will never look at Elijah Wood and not think of Frodo or Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. Even in that image in the OP, all I see is Rey.

Thought she was out after TRoS.

I have massive social anxiety so i do appreciate moves with this subject matter.

I don't. I see Daisy Ridley in a new role.

Was wondering what was taking so long in acquiring a distributor. Most significant part about the news:

O-Scope is planning a traditional theatrical release for the film later this year.

Probably limited but still great to hear. And a good chance for physical media release with Oscilloscope.

I'll be very happy if I get to watch this in a theater

Slipstream reboot?

Same here... Though, I wasn't shocked.

It is indeed nice to see Daisy on a project. She was solid in MotOE, though I haven't seen Chaos Walking.

Sometimes we think about picking up incredible gems at Sundance and then actually pick up those incredible gems. So glad to welcome Rachel Lambert's SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING to the O-Scope team.
