John Boyega to star in Netflix's 'Rebel Ridge'

Film science and Bonneville Pictures will co-produce the project, reported Variety.

Saulnier, Anish Savjani, Neil Kopp, Vincent Savino are the producers with Macon Blair attached as executive producer.

Boyega will next be seen reprising his role as Finn in the final chapter of Disney and Lucasfilm's Skywalker saga, "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", due to release in December.
