Saoirse Ronan’s latest project, THE OUTRUN, will have a special Panorama screening at next year’s Berlin Film Festival. The drama is adapted from Amy Liptrot’s best-selling memoir about a recovering alcoholic — played by four-time Oscar nominee Ronan — who returns to her home on the windswept wilderness of Scotland’s Orkney Islands. THE OUTRUN is among the first 11 titles picked by Panorama for its 2024 lineup.
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.
