Saoirse Ronan Reveals The Role She Nearly Played In Barbie, And I Really Wish It Would Have Happened

Now, the Barbie cast was pretty much perfect as is, but in the months following the movie's release, a lot has come out about who could have been in the ensemble, and they are too good to not be bummed about. Great talents like Dan Levy, Jonathan Groff and Bowen Yang were almost Kens, but for a while now I’ve been the saddest about how Greta Gerwig couldn’t bring her Little Women and Lady Bird leads back for a third round. After Gerwig previously revealed that Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet almost had cameos in…

The Outrun review – Saoirse Ronan is remarkable in a sensitive recovery drama | Sundance 2024

To tell an addiction story is to traffic in cliche. It’s “always a story that has already been told”, writes Leslie Jamison in her addiction memoir The Recovering, one that comes down “to the same demolished and reductive and recycled core: Desire. Use.

Rona, played…

Pugh is fantastic in the role, which is to be expected — the young…

‘It’s almost like a soap’: Saoirse Ronan and David Oyelowo on how the whodunnit rose from the dead | Film

Hold on to your deerstalkers: the whodunnit is back, with its trail of clues, its lineup of suspects and its well-timed doses of British bloody murder. It arrives when the country is sickly, like a bustling matron, to reassure us that evil will out and that justice prevails in the end. The genre abides by its own strict set of rules. Its predictability has become its USP. “It’s a whodunnit,” says the world-weary narrator at the start of See How They Run. “You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.”We have long since reached…
