Working with McQueen is a major honor for anyone. Hes uber talented and is in total control of what he is doing. I hope she can work with him in the future, i really dont mind the project. Just to work with him would be glorious.

Just read that the sequel to the seminal Blade Runner has a Jan.12, 2018 release date. Helmed by Sicario director Denis Villeneuve and starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford, it's due to begin principal photography in July.
No other cast have been announced as of yet (as far I can ascertain), so I'd love to see Saoirse in that. -

Me too! The reports state that it will take place some decades after the original's setting. Gosling should recommend her for a role there. And since Villeneuve has introduced some pretty great female characters in his filmography, it stands to reason that there should be a female role that is not "The Girl".

eah, but not sure she can enter this project due to her schedule. I think her year of 2016 is full already,the play in the first semester and shooting two films..

So major Kudos to whoever predicted that
On Chesil Beach
casting spot on though, of course, if that person happens to be her agent, then it doesn't count.
Since we already had one pretty great casting guess here, I'm gonna go ahead and take a wild guess. Have you heard about the TV adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's
Purity
? Well, Daniel Craig will star and Scott Rudin will produce in a limited, 20 episode run (though that should be good for two seasons and is kind of a stretch considering the book is around 500 pages): http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/daniel-craig-purity-jonathan-franzen-showtime-drama-1201705677/
Since the lead character in the book is a young woman trying to discover her past with the help of a mysterious tech-wiz, to be played by Craig, it seems a rather fitting role for Sersh. Now, considering that Rudin is also producing
Lady Bird
and
The Crucible
, it wouldn't surprise me if he would consider Ronan for the role, being exactly the kind of interesting project that projects her5b4 and also pushing her closer to that EGOT. On the other hand, the plot does sound very similar to
Mr. Robot
And for some additional casting ideas:- Zelda Fitzgerald in a biopic about her and Francis Scott Fitzgerald, you know, the writer of
Tender is the Night
among others. I've read once that instead of trying to adapt his novels, they should totally make a movie about their extraordinary and sad lives. A perfect title for this movie would be
The Beautiful and the Damned
, but apparently it was already taken by this novel from the 30s. - Franchise time: So, Tom Cruise, crazy as he is, has been producing and fronting some of the finest popcorn movies in the last five years. The guy knows how to surround himself with some damn clever and talented people. At the same time, as his priority is the quality of the movie, he has had no problems allowing Emily Blunt and Rebecca Ferguson to steal the scenes in his last two movies. Well,
Top Gun 2
is getting made, and since the plot will be about him being the mentor of the last generation of jet fighter pilots, against the rise of the drones, it would be a lot of fun to see her as the pupil/maverick/pain-in-the-ass. I know many of you will think that a project like that is below her skills, but every ber-talented actor has done franchise-popcorn films (it pays handsomely after all), and if you're going to make one of those, do it w5b4ith someone who has 30 years experience doing silly fun.

I haven't heard about this book Purity yet, do you recommend it? I think Saoirse going to TV right now would be a really strange move, since her movie carrer is skyrocketing right now, but if its just 20 episodes and its with Daniel Craig and Scott Rudin producing, why not?
I just read a little bit about the Fitzgerald and Wow their story would make a great film, maybe even a miniserie. Now i want to see it, great sugestion
Top gun 2 would be fun, Saoirse needs a blockbuster to become an A-list actress in Hollywood -

Read Save me the Waltz. Its a wonderful book written by Zelda that has many parallels to her real life with Scott. Saoirse would be great playing the main character, its such a nice story and character.

I think the Purity project sounds great. I mean, Im a fan of all Franzens book (havent read Purity yet), but at least trust the material and the people involved so far. Id love to see her playing the main characters, shes supposed to be leading a film with all that talent, to be honest.
