While filming THE OUTRUN, Saoirse Ronan delivered lambs, swam with seals and communed with her fair share of flora and fauna. The four-time Oscar nominee plays Rona, a young woman who leaves London and returns to her small hometown on Scotland’s Orkney Islands as she charts her course to sobriety while experiencing all the harsh realities and natural wonders that a tiny, wind-swept isle off the coast of Scotland has to offer.
Louis Vuitton has named Irish actor Saoirse Ronan as their newest ambassador. The actress, who can currently be seen in FOE on Amazon Prime has been acting for the past two decades and has been lauded for her work in films such as LITTLE WOMEN, LADY BIRD, BROOKLYN, and ATONEMENT, among others. She has been cited by The New York Times as of the greatest actors of the 21st century. In January of this year, her film THE OUTRUN – which she stars in and produced – received glowing reviews at its Sundance Film Festival premiere, with Ronan in attendance wearing Louis Vuitton. She is also set to be seen on screens later this year in Steve McQueen’s highly anticipated war drama, BLITZ.
FOE star Saoirse Ronan is busy promoting her powerful new drama THE OUTRUN at Sundance Film Festival. Based on a true story, the film showcases Ronan’s acting prowess as she expressively embodies a woman passing through a mighty crucible, mostly on her own. The Oscar nominee gives one of her greatest performances as a young woman grappling with addiction in a moving and delicate adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s memoir.
Irish starlets, Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, take the lead roles in Garth Davis’ FOE, premiering on Amazon Prime on Jan 5th. Hen (Ronan) & Junior’s (Mescal) life is thrown into turmoil when a stranger shows up at their door with a startling proposal. Will they risk their relationship & personal identity for a chance to survive in a new world? With mesmerizing imagery and persistent questions about the nature of humanity (and artificial humanity), FOE brings the not-too-distant future to luminous life.
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.
