Saoirse & Timothée sit down to discuss everything from the first time they ever met, working with Greta Gerwig for LITTLE WOMEN to their latest projects, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN and THE OUTRUN.
January 17Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025. Scott’s recent filmography showcases his remarkable range. In 2023, he received widespread praise for his transformative lead role in Andrew Haigh’s ghost story ALL OF US STRANGERS, where he starred opposite Paul Mescal. His emotionally charged performance in RIPLEY (2024) further solidified his status as one of today’s most versatile actors, following his earlier successes in CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY (2022) and the war drama 1917 (2019). In BACK IN ACTION, Scott joins Hollywood veterans Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx in what marks Diaz’s first film role since 2014’s ANNIE. The plot centers around a seemingly ordinary couple (Diaz and Foxx) whose quiet suburban life masks their former careers as elite secret agents. When their past catches up with them, they’re thrust back into the high-stakes world of international espionage. This action-packed comeback vehicle for Diaz represents another significant addition to Scott’s increasingly diverse portfolio, bridging his acclaimed dramatic work with more commercial fare.  Watch BACK IN ACTION on Netflix.   Ireland shines with BAFTA nominationsirishfilmtvJanuary 16, 2025The Irish-language film KNEECAP has made BAFTA history with six nominations, becoming the most nominated debut film ever at the awards.

January 14Kenneth Branagh (A HAUNTING IN VENICE) and Pierce Brosnan (THE LAST RIFLEMAN) lead an all-star voice cast in Angel Studios’ upcoming animated feature THE KING OF KINGS, set for an Easter release on April 11th. Based on a Charles Dickens short story, the film follows a transformative bedtime tale between a father and son that brings the story of Jesus to life through a child’s imagination. Branagh takes on the central role of Charles Dickens himself, who recounts the greatest story ever told to his youngest son Walter (voiced by Roman Griffin Davis). As Dickens narrates, the biblical tale unfolds through vivid animation, with Brosnan portraying one of history’s most notorious figures – Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ultimately ordered Jesus’ crucifixion. The two acclaimed British actors are joined by an impressive ensemble including Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens, Mark Hamill as King Herod, Ben Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas, Forest Whitaker, and Oscar Isaac.

January 7Fresh from two triumphant, sold-out runs in London’s West End, this stunning revival of Tennessee Williams’s A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE comes to the Brooklyn Academy of Music for an exclusive five-week engagement. The production stars Paul Mescal (GLADIATOR II, AFTERSUN, ALL OF US STRANGERS) as Stanley Kowalski, alongside Patsy Ferran (LIVING, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY) as Blanche DuBois and Anjana Vasan (KILLING EVE, BLACK MIRROR) as Stella Kowalski. At the helm is Olivier Award-winning director Rebecca Frecknall (CABARET, SUMMER AND SMOKE). In the sultry heat of New Orleans, Blanche DuBois arrives at her sister Stella’s apartment, seeking refuge with nowhere else to turn. As the temperature rises, so does the tension within the cramped quarters. Stanley, portrayed by Mescal with what The New York Times calls “swagger and sensitivity,” begins to unravel the carefully woven threads of Blanche’s past. As her meticulously constructed façade begins to crumble, the production reveals the dark undercurrents that pulse beneath the surface of one of America’s greatest plays. Due to exceptional demand, additional matinee performances have been added on Thursday, March 13 at 1:30pm, Wednesday, March 19 at 1:30pm, Wednesday, March 26 at 1:30pm, and Wednesday, April 2 at 1:30pm.

January 6Colin Farrell claimed his third Golden Globe victory at the 2025 awards ceremony on Sunday night, winning Best Male Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series for his portrayal of Oswald Cobblepot in THE PENGUIN. The Max series features Farrell reprising his role as the notorious Gotham gangster, a character he first brought to life in Matt Reeves’s 2022 film THE BATMAN. His transformation into the iconic villain required an extensive three-hour daily makeup process. During his acceptance speech, Farrell playfully quipped, “No one to thank on this one. I did it all by myself… Just a raw, paired away performance.” He then acknowledged makeup artist Michael Marino, who designed the Penguin’s distinctive look, and praised his “extraordinary” team. Describing his morning routine in the makeup chair, Farrell shared, “I drank black coffee, listened to ’80s music, and I became a canvas for that team’s brilliance.” He concluded his speech with a humorous observation about his future career path: “I guess it’s prosthetics for here on out.” Andrew Scott in BACK IN ACTIONirishfilmtvJanuary 17, 2025Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.

January 3THAT THEY MAY FACE THE RISING SUN, the critically acclaimed 2024 Irish film adaptation, has achieved a remarkable 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and recently claimed the prestigious Best Irish Film award at the IFTA Awards (Ireland’s equivalent of the Oscars). The film, which has just been added to BBC iPlayer, masterfully adapts John McGahern’s final novel. Set in the 1980s, it follows Joe (Barry Ward) and Kate Ruttledge (Anna Bederke), a couple who leave London behind to embrace life in a tranquil Irish lakeside community near Joe’s childhood home. What makes the film’s success particularly noteworthy is director Pat Collins’s bold artistic choice to maintain the novel’s unconventional “anti-novel” approach. Rather than introducing artificial drama, Collins preserved McGahern’s original vision of a story stripped of traditional plot devices. This innovative approach, focusing on the quiet rhythm of rural life through “the rituals of work, play and the passing seasons,” has resonated strongly with critics and audiences alike. The film’s triumph challenges conventional filmmaking wisdom, proving that a “lyrical celebration of the everyday” can captivate viewers without relying on dramatic plot points. Collins’s faithful adaptation honors McGahern’s original intention, expressed to the Observer in 2005, of “taking drama out” to create something dramatically powerful in its very absence. This artistic gamble has paid off magnificently, with the film now garnering international attention through its BBC iPlayer release, marking a significant achievement for Irish cinema and demonstrating the enduring appeal of thoughtful, contemplative storytelling.

January 2BELFAST star Caitríona Balfe rose to international fame through her starring role in the STARZ historical drama series OUTLANDER, which premiered in 2014. In the series, Balfe portrays Claire Randall, a World War II nurse who mysteriously travels back in time to 1743 Scotland. Her character becomes romantically involved with Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), and together they navigate the historical turmoil of the Jacobite risings. Based on Diana Gabaldon’s novel series, OUTLANDER has become Balfe’s defining television role. The series’ seventh season, adapted from AN ECHO IN THE BONE, is currently airing on STARZ, having premiered in June 2023. The second half of Season 7 began airing on November 22, 2024, with the final episode scheduled for January 17, 2025. As OUTLANDER approaches its conclusion, Balfe has been open about the emotional impact of filming the eighth and final season. In an interview with COLLIDER, she described the intensity of shooting the series’ final moments: “The leading up to it was the hardest part,” she revealed, adding that the anticipation led to significant anxiety and “a lot of ugly crying on my behalf.” The series finale, which recently completed filming, adapts material from WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD and GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, the final books in Gabaldon’s series. While the release date for Season 8 remains unannounced, Balfe’s portrayal of Claire Randall Fraser has spanned nearly a decade of television, establishing her as one of the most recognizable faces in historical drama.

January 12025 is shaping up to be a remarkable year for Irish actors in cinema, with several of the country’s finest talents taking center stage in highly anticipated productions. Michael Fassbender and Pierce Brosnan, two of Ireland’s most celebrated actors, are joining forces in Steven Soderbergh’s espionage thriller BLACK BAG. The film, arriving in March, promises to be a sophisticated addition to the genre, with these Irish veterans sharing the screen with Cate Blanchett and an ensemble cast. Colin Farrell makes his eagerly awaited return to the big screen in Kogonada’s A BIG BOLD BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY. This marks Farrell’s first role since his acclaimed performance in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, and the dreamy romance seems poised to showcase the Dublin native’s remarkable range alongside Margot Robbie. Perhaps most excitingly, Cork’s own Cillian Murphy, fresh from his Oscar victory, returns to the franchise that helped launch his career with 28 YEARS LATER. The continuation of 28 DAYS LATER saga reunites Murphy with original creators Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, suggesting this zombie apocalypse will be worth the two-decade wait. Rounding out this impressive year, Jessie Buckley, one of Ireland’s most versatile performers, takes on the iconic role in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s THE BRIDE! The Mayo actress leads this ambitious sci-fi musical reimagining of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, adding another fascinating project to her already diverse portfolio. This stellar lineup demonstrates the continuing impact of Irish talent on global cinema, with these performers taking on challenging roles across various genres, from sophisticated thrillers to avant-garde musicals. 2025 looks set to be another banner year for Ireland’s contribution to international film.   Andrew Scott in BACK IN ACTIONirishfilmtvJanuary 17, 2025Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.

December 31Barry Keoghan is set to star in a new psychological thriller alongside Jenna Ortega, titled HURRY UP TOMORROW. The film, which shares its name with The Weeknd’s upcoming album, will hit North American theaters on May 16, 2025, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The project brings together several notable collaborators. Trey Edward Shults, known for A24 films like, WAVES and IT COMES AT NIGHT, will direct the musically-driven thriller. Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), a frequent creative partner of The Weeknd, will contribute to the film’s soundtrack alongside The Weeknd’s own music. The film is being produced by Lionsgate in partnership with The Weeknd’s production company, Manic Phase. For an actor most people didn’t know existed two years ago — and now that they do, are still trying to figure out how to pronounce his name — Barry Keoghan has become an incredibly seen young performer. After an Oscar nomination for 2022’s THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN; the hurricane of memes, snark, and discourse around last year’s SALTBURN; and a publicity-friendly relationship with pop girlie du jour Sabrina Carpenter, Keoghan went from “Oh, that kid in DUNKIRK?” to one of 2024’s rodent boyfriends. This come-up is funny if you’re one of the few people who have been following Keoghan’s career since he played the creepy kid who probably poisons Colin Farrell’s family in Yorgos Lanthimos’s 2017 movie THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER. Keoghan won fans among the cinephile set for the aloof intensity he demonstrates there, which could be dialed up for a movie like THE GREEN KNIGHT or down to suit the snappy superhero needs of ETERNALS.

December 29PLAYING NICE stars Niamh Algar alongside James Norton in a gripping new psychological drama from ITV, STUDIOCANAL, and Rabbit Track Pictures. Algar portrays Maddie, a mother whose life is shattered when she discovers her toddler was switched at birth with another child. The four-part series follows Maddie and her partner Pete (Norton) as they confront this devastating revelation, leading them into the lives of Miles (James McArdle) and Lucy (Jessica Brown Findlay) – the parents raising their biological child. While an initial agreement seems promising, sinister undercurrents begin to surface. Adapted from JP Delaney’s novel for television by Grace Ofori-Attah, PLAYING NICE represents a major acquisition for STUDIOCANAL at MIPCOM. The series comes from Norton and Kitty Kaletsky’s Banijay-backed Rabbit Track Pictures, with Norton himself describing it as “a psychological thriller, and more psychological than thriller.” The Irish actress Algar, known for her powerful performances in HAPPY VALLEY and RAISED BY WOLVES, takes on this complex maternal role in what promises to be an intense exploration of parental bonds and moral dilemmas.

December 27Barry Keoghan’s newest film, BIRD, was released in cinemas last month. Now, the acclaimed hit is available to stream from home. A blend of coming-of-age drama, crime thriller, and fantasy has an 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Currently streaming on Mubi, a platform that showcases less mainstream cinema, the film centers around a 12-year-old girl living in a squat in a rough council estate with her chaotic, young, drug-dealing father, played by Keoghan. Keoghan’s breakthrough came with his chilling performance in THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (2017) alongside Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman, where he played a manipulative teenager named Martin. He gained wider recognition with several significant roles. In Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK (2017), he played George, a young civilian sailor. He earned an Oscar nomination for his role as Dominic Kearney in THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN (2022), and appeared briefly as the Joker in a deleted scene from THE BATMAN (2022). More recently, he starred as Oliver Quick alongside Jacob Elordi in SALTBURN (2023), and played Lt. Curtis Biddick in the Apple TV+ series MASTERS OF THE AIR (2024). Keoghan has established himself as one of the most interesting actors of his generation, often taking on complex, darkly compelling roles that showcase his range. His performances frequently combine vulnerability with unsettling undertones, making him particularly effective in psychological dramas and thrillers.

December 20The Guardian has picked its top films of 2024 and, Andrew Scott’s ALL OF US STRANGERS, tops the list! At the heart of Andrew Haigh’s moving drama lies an exploration of profound human experiences. The film artfully navigates the depths of loss and isolation while illuminating how human connection can serve as a beacon through life’s darkest moments. The story centers on Adam (Andrew Scott), a solitary television writer in London. His life takes an unexpected turn after a chance encounter with Harry, an enigmatic neighbor. While their initial connection falters, fate brings them together again. Meanwhile, Adam experiences something extraordinary – visiting his childhood home, he encounters his parents, who died when he was twelve. Rather than questioning this impossible reunion, he embraces the opportunity to know them as an adult, while simultaneously opening himself to a deepening relationship with Harry. Haigh crafts a narrative that defies easy categorization. Though it carries elements of both ghost story and time travel tale, it transcends these genres to become something more nuanced. The film maintains a delicate balance between stark realism and ethereal atmosphere, creating a dreamlike meditation on identity, possibility, and the nature of love. Despite its underlying themes of loss and grief, the film remains fundamentally hopeful. The result is a haunting yet beautiful work that speaks to anyone who has experienced love or longing. It’s a rare piece of cinema that allows viewers to reflect deeply on their own lives while witnessing a story that feels both impossibly magical and profoundly real. Watch ALL OF STRANGERS on Amazon prime.   Andrew Scott in BACK IN ACTIONirishfilmtvJanuary 17, 2025Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.

December 12During a recent Variety’s ACTORS ON ACTORS conversation, Saoirse Ronan and Selena Gomez delved into the profound emotional territories of their recent film roles, exploring themes of personal transformation, cultural identity, and the healing power of storytelling. Audiard’s EMILIA PÉREZ, Gomez immerses herself in a deeply personal narrative. Her character Jessi’s journey of self-discovery after losing her partner becomes a canvas for cultural exploration. By performing in Spanish, Gomez not only honors her roots but discovers an unexpected therapeutic process. The role represents more than just acting for her—it’s a celebration of linguistic and cultural identity, enhanced by the emotional resonance of singing in her heritage language. Saoirse Ronan takes a bold step in THE OUTRUN, a project that goes beyond traditional storytelling. As both producer and lead actress, she confronts the complex landscape of addiction. “It’s a monster I had to confront,” Ronan candidly reveals, demonstrating her commitment to portraying challenging emotional experiences. The film becomes a personal exploration, allowing her to process and understand addiction’s profound impact. Her companion film BLITZ further showcases her range, depicting a young mother navigating the tumultuous environment of war-torn London—another testament to Ronan’s ability to embody complex, nuanced characters. A Shared Artistic Philosophy Both actresses articulate a similar approach to their craft. For them, performance is not just about portrayal but transformation. Ronan eloquently describes this process: “You channel emotions into the performance, and by the end, it’s almost cleansing.” This perspective reveals acting as a deeply introspective and healing experience. Gomez and Ronan represent a new generation of actors who see their roles as more than entertainment. They are storytellers committed to reflecting lived experiences, challenging societal narratives, and exploring the intricate emotional landscapes that define human existence. Their conversation in the Variety series becomes a powerful testament to the evolving role of cinema—not just as a medium of entertainment, but as a profound tool for personal and collective understanding.   Andrew Scott in BACK IN ACTIONirishfilmtvJanuary 17, 2025Fresh off his acclaimed performance as Tom Ripley in Netflix’s psychological thriller RIPLEY, Andrew Scott continues his streaming success with the upcoming action-comedy BACK IN ACTION, set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025.
