Saoirse's News Summary Continuation

Nice to see what is hopefully the first of many awards for Saoirse and Brooklyn this season, though the name "New Hollywood Award" makes me laugh a bit. I have to remind myself that not everyone knows Saoirse's talent and rsum as well as we do. It's a little late, but I guess welcome to Hollywood Saoirse!
Wonder how many more newcomer awards she'll receive like that. Time will tell. At least this awards season should hopefully fully establish her name (and its spelling/pronunciation if we're lucky). -

I actually think it makes sense. Yes, Saoirse has a very impressive resume so far. But most of the achievements are part of her child/teenage career, which is a separate thing. So
Brooklyn
can definitely be considered the breakout role of her adult career.
By the way, I think that Saoirse has the chance to become the youngest two time Oscar nominee ever. At least I can't think of anyone else who achieved this at age 21. -

Saoirse would be the second youngest ever because Angela Landsbury was a bit younger when she snagged her second.
Ah, right. But maybe she can become the youngest actress to receive two times an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA nomination in the same year. It would basically be a continuation of a previous record she already established for her role in
Atonement

This might be news many of us were hoping for regarding a certain project
:
And theres a lot of great
female directors
actually, that are finally coming to the surface that Ive had meetings with, she says,
and Im working with one next year that Im really excited about.
One of those women! (Laughs.) But its exciting to finally, I mean, 90% of the directors Ive been working with have been male and theyve been incredible but it would be really nice to work with more women in the future, and I can feel that thats starting to happen.
Here is the link to the rest:

I'm not 100%, but aside from working with A. Heckerling and N. Beckwith, the only other female director she has been reported to be linked to is S. Bier. They had scouted out locations in Scotland some time ago for Mary Queen of Scots. It was being developed by the terrific U.K. production company Working Title Films. So, must likely Saoirse actually gave us a big tip off yesterday.

It does sound promising, but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm thinking Saoirse will have clout after Brooklyn. Man, I'm glad she got The Host monkey off her back.
Meanwhile, hadn't heard this before:
On the red carpet the director told me about plans to spin off Brooklyn into a television show that, theres a plan in the pipeline but it was very early and no names were attached yet for the cast. Were trying to get this out in the field first, Crowley told me, adding that he might get involved as well. Its a great idea and everybody is intrigued by it.

I recently watched "Morgan" at the cinema and especially enjoyed the initial two thirds of the film before it devolved into "nearly everyone is going to die now" action-type finish. Anya Taylor-Joy was good in the title role.
Here she (at the end) recounts meeting Saoirse during The Crucible run:
