    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Saoirse Ronan


    Poetswan — 10 years ago(February 05, 2016 10:30 AM)

    Which movie would you like Saoirse to star?
    Here are my ideas:

    • I think she would be a great Amelia Earhart in a biopic, of course it would have to be when she is older, because she is too young right now.
      -I would love to see her in a Tim Burton movie, since she likes to play different characters.
      -I think she would have a lot to work with as a depressing character in a Lars Von Trier film.
      -A comedia with Kristen Wigg, it would be fun to see her work with her idol.

      I'm not imaginative like thb68at.
      I do hope she gets to work with Kristen Wiig because she wants to. Also with Helen Mirren because Mirren wants to work with her, and Meryl Streep because I want them to work together.
      Otherwise, I like to be surprised.
      But there is one, though it may never be made, "On Chesil Beach," based on the novel by Ian McEwan with the screenplay written by him.
      Saoirse got her big break as Briony Tallis in McEwan's "Atonement."
      McEwan has said whenever he thinks of his Briony character now he always thinks of Saoirse and he wants her in On Chesil Beach. But the screenplay has lagged for several years. Carey Mulligan was originally attached but she's 30 now and the character has to be in her early 20's.

        I just read the plot for this book and it sounds great! Just one question, considering this is the same author of Atonement, does it ends well?

              It's a wonderful novel, but much smaller in scale, basically a two-person drama covering one day with narrative flashbacks.

                Oh, I love this book, that would be a great character for her. Ian McEwans such a brilliant author.

                  Let's hope she keeps the role

                    I'm ecstatic. From what I'm reading it sounds much more solidified than the Carey Mulligan-Sam Mendez version ever did. Saoirse has said they start filming later this year.

                      I could see her in a Lars Von Trier movie since the "pure and innocent young woman has horrible things happen to her for 2-3 hours" genre seems to be something he enjoys.

                        I thought of your reasoning as why I wouldn't want her in a von Trier film

                          Wasn't necessarily saying it ought to happen, but that I could see him wanting to cast her

                            Why Jlent? I think it would be a baity role and she would be able to upload her suffering acting skills.

                              Actors definitely want to work with him and, I guess, most appreciate the experience. But John C. Reilly walked off the set and Bjork hated the experience. I have yet to see a performance in one of his films that struck me as extraordinary. It's all about him and he seems to be a bit of a sadist. Not sure the end results of all the emotional wringing make for a special performance.

                                  Yeah, Bjork was traumatized and O'Reilly walked off when they killed a donkey just for the cinematic experience.
                                  On the other hand, Stellan Skarsgrd has appeared in six Von Trier films and German actor Udo Kier holds the record with 10 appearances.

                                    In my opinion Von Trier has sort of turned into a troll. A lot of his recent work (Antichrist, Nympho) seems designed just to get a rise out of people and be shocking. I wouldn't be particularly thrilled if I heard he was working with her, but if it was a movie like his earlier work it could turn out well.

                                      What about Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves? She was excellent in that. That was a great movie by Lars von Trier.

                                        And you think that Saoirse has played many of those kinds of characters?

                                          My hobby horse:
                                          Cast Saoirse as the character Hanna in a new Jason Bourne movie. Hanna has a similar background story to Bourne and I think with a good script a mash-up could be a winner. For example it was never revealed who Hanna's biological parents were.
                                          The Players of The Game are the scum of the earth.
