Which movie would you like Saoirse to star?

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.

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.

I can't remember whether they said they used Johanna's own egg or if she was simply a surrogate. The film was ambiguous about Hanna's biological mother, even dropping hints that it might have been Marissa Wiegler. So I think there's some wriggle room there.
All we know for sure is that Erik wasn't her biological father and the father was not named.
In my mind the ideal for a new Bourne/Hanna film would be Jason Bourne as the biological father and Nicky Parsons as the biological mother. But that would be a bit of a squeeze because of the age gap between them and Nicky being quite young when Hanna was conceived. So really the time lines don't match unless they age up Nicky by five years or so.
Although I've heard a rumour that Nicky has been killed off in the new 'Bourne' movie that is currently being made so that would make things awkward.

There were moments in the movie when i thought Marissa could be her mother, but the idea of she donating her egg seemed weird.I am not familiar with the Bourne series, so i can't give my opinion about the matching time lines.

Astute observation Poetswan. This board's activity really started to heat up when Hanna debuted. mysteryfan was posting even before then, and jlent and I came along with some others who're still with us and post occasionally. Some of the regulars have disappeared. We had a lot of discussion about the film.
If I recall correctly, the man who wrote the script created it when he was still a writing student in college at one of the Canadian schools. Marissa
was
indeed her mother in the earliest version of Hanna. My guess is the producers/director probably felt audiences would have reacted negatively if she killed her mom at the end of the film.
Actually, if you changed the ending, Saoirse and Cate could've had a bunch of interesting scenes together. It might have become a more complex film in a psychological sense. -

It would have been so much better with Marissa as her mother, like you said, so many interesting scenes! What a missed oportunity.
BTW Brooklyn will finally come to my town
It will premiere in only one theater, this friday, and i will be there. Thought I don't think it will get a big audience, because its the same day as the deadpool premiere.
