The Irish actress is set to star in the satirical comedy-thriller BAD APPLES for Jonatan Etzler, the director of the Swedish film ONE MORE TIME. The film, which is an adaption of Rasmus Lindgren’s debut novel De Oönskade, tells the story of Maria (Ronan), a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds but is unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student.
After providing the raw fodder for Charlie Kaufman’s characteristically cryptic I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS, Canadian novelist Iain Reid serves up more brain-bender material in Garth Davis’ FOE. Anchored by emotionally raw performances from Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, with Aaron Pierre as a stranger bringing equal parts seductive charm and understated menace, this brooding psychological sci-fi about a dying planet and a floundering marriage.
Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan face a dangerous future in FOE. Mescal and Ronan portray Junior and Henrietta, a married couple living in a rural farmhouse 40 or so years into the future. The vast majority of the film takes place in their home and stays with them through an unpredictable, tragic journey, sprinkled with glimmers of hope and punctuated by a reveal that compels a rewatch. Amazon Studios will release FOE in theaters on October 6.
Now in the next phase of superstardom, Saoirse Ronan is slated to appear in three upcoming films, including Steve McQueen’s World War II historical drama BLITZ; a film adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s celebrated memoir THE OUTRUN, which sets themes of addiction and healing against the sheer cliffs and lush farmland of the remote Scottish coast; and Foe, a sci-fi thriller which sees Ronan alongside her friend and fellow countryman Paul Mescal, as they struggle to survive in a not-too-distant future world, ravaged by the impacts of climate change.
From her breakout role in HANNA to her powerful performance in AMMONITE, this Irish screen goddess has mastered every on-screen role! Born on April 12, 1994, in New York City, USA, Ronan was raised in County Carlow, Ireland, and began acting at a young age. She made her film debut in 2007 in the drama I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN and received critical acclaim for her performance in the 2007 film ATONEMENT, earning her first Academy Award nomination at just 13 years old. We can’t wait to see her next in Steve McQueen’s wartime drama BLITZ.
Saoirse Ronan is currently filming BLITZ by 12 YEARS A SLAVE director Steve McQueen. It is no secret Ronan is the film’s leading lady, and has been spotted with platinum blonde hair, fashioned into a vintage curl. The Oscar nominee has stunned audiences in popular films such as LADY BIRD and LITTLE WOMEN, and is no stranger to the big screen. The film, to be released by Apple, will tell the story of how Londoners survived the German bombing campaign.
Saoirse Ronan is set to star in a highly anticipated film as a recovering addict, fresh out of rehab. The Irish actor has been cast in the movie adaptation of THE OUTRUN – a bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot. A first look at the film shows a blue-haired Ronan looking stoic as Rona, who returns to the wild Orkney Islands of Scotland after a decade away.
28-year-old Ronan will star in Steve McQueen’s upcoming WWII drama BLITZ, which follows a group of Londoners during the aerial bombardment of their city. The confirmation of Ronan’s casting only adds further prestige to the upcoming project, given she is currently one of Hollywood’s brightest stars. Already a four-time Oscar nominee before the age of 30, the young Dublin actress can currently be seen in mystery comedy SEE HOW THEY RUN.
In SEE HOW THEY RUN, the Irish actor, best known for bringing Jo March to life in Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN, plays an ambitious police officer paired with seasoned, yet unorthodox, detective (Sam Rockwell), in a ‘whodunnit’ murder mystery comedy where the scene of the crime is a theatre. The production, directed by THIS COUNTRY‘s Tom George, has a very impressive cast, hence Ronan’s struggle to pick the correct co-star in answer to our trivia questions. Joining Ronan and Rockwell are David Oyelowo, Ruth Wilson, Adrien Brody, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Reece Shearsmith and Harris Dickinson.
Since her breakout role in 2007, Saoirse Ronan has been one of the most exciting talents in Hollywood, giving impeccable performances from action movies to period dramas. At 28 years old, she’s worked with some of Hollywood’s best directors; she’s been on rotation working with Joe Wright, Greta Gerwig, and Wes Anderson. In an interview with The Irish Sun in 2017, Ryan Gosling recalled working with the actress during his feature directorial debut, Lost River, praising her as “Meryl (Streep) reborn;” Ronan would later go on to work with the legendary actress, Meryl Streep, in Gerwig’s adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN.
Saoirse Ronan steps into the shoes of enthusiastic newcomer Constable Stalker in SEE HOW THEY RUN. Set in 1950s London, and in the West End to be precise, the movie follows the aftermath of a big-name death — a Hollywood director who was set to turn a smash-hit play into a film. Slated to hit cinemas at the end of September, the flick hails from first-time feature director Tom George with Mark Chappell on scripting duties.
Saoirse Ronan is set to star in THE OUTRUN, the new film from THE UNFORGIVEABLE director Nora Fingscheidt. Ronan, a four-time Oscar nominee, will play Rona, a woman fresh out of rehab who, after more than a decade away, returns to Scotland’s wild Orkney Islands and to the sheep farm of her childhood, in the adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s best-selling memoir of the same name. Fingscheidt and Liptrot have adapted the book for the screen.
The Almeida Theatre in London has extended its current run of THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH until November 27. The Yaël Farber’s production stars Saoirse Ronan as Lady Macbeth and James McArdle in the title role. The Almeida has now announced that the show will be streamed online between October 27 and October 30, with the actors performing live from the theatre each night.
Saoirse Ronan is undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s top talents of recent years. After her making her breakout performance in ATONEMENT, the Irish actress received her first Academy Award nomination at just 12 years old. While she continued to take on roles throughout her teen years, even making her Broadway debut in The Crucible in 2016, it’s her most recent credits that have truly brought her to the forefront of the award circuit.
