Huge congratulations to our girl, and best of luck to her! =)

A HUGE apology to everyone. I’ve been super out of sorts with Access Saoirse and so today that ends. =) I spent a good portion of the evening adding pictures from the latest Grand Budapest Hotel press events, several photoshoots, and magazines scans. Saoirse has been quite busy lately so there is still one current event missing, which is the Vanity Fair Oscars Party last Sunday. Pictures from that will be up sometime tomorrow! For now, links to all the new pictures in the gallery are below along with several interviews Saoirse did while in New York for The Grand Budapest Hotel’s premiere.

One final note, if you’ve sent an email in the last month or so, I will get back to you very shortly! Thanks for your patience!

A new clip from The Grand Budapest Hotel appeared online last night, featuring Saoirse. It’s quite funny, watch below!

Deadline is reporting that Saoirse is set to star in a new film! It sounds pretty incredible. Read more below!

Saoirse Ronan and Cynthia Nixon have been set to star in Stockholm, Pennsylvania, a drama scripted and to be directed by Nikole Beckwith. Pic marks her feature helmer debut and production begins next week in Los Angeles. The film is an adaptation of the play, and the script made the 2012 Black List and won the 2012 Nicholl Fellowship and came through the Sundance Screenwriting Lab. Greg Ammon is producing through his banner Fido Features in association with Olympus Pictures’ Leslie Urdang and Dan Halsted.

Ronan stars as developmentally stunted Leia, a young woman raised by a kidnapper who now struggles to acclimate to her actual parents after 20 years of separation. Nixon plays the girl’s grief-stricken mother, who goes to extreme lengths to recapture her daughter’s love. Jason Isaacs plays her captor, and David Warshofsky plays her father. Fido Features is a production/finance company that recently wrapped Shiva & May, the Diane Bell-helmed thriller that stars Jessica Biel and Zosia Mamet. Beckwith comes from the Public Theater’s Emerging Writer’s Group, and is repped by ICM Partners. Ronan, who will next be seen in the Susanne Bier-directed Mary Queen Of Scots and the Wes Anderson-directed The Grand Budapest Hotel, also stars in the Ryan Gosling-directed How To Catch A Monster. She’s repped by CAA and UK’s Macfarlane Chard. Nixon recently wrapped Life Itself and James White, and stars in Amazon’s Alpha House and in the second season of NBC’s Hannibal. She is repped by UTA and Emily Gerson Saines at Brookside Artist Management. Isaac, who wrapped the WWII drama Fury and the NBC mini Rosemary’s Baby is repped by Gersh, ITG and Silver Lining, and Warshofsky is repped by Talentworks, Cornerstone and Patty Woo Management.

PS… I am so, so sorry for the long, unannounced hiatus! I am working to get the gallery up to date with Saoirse’s recent events, appearances, and photoshoots, as well as screencaps from The Grand Budapest Hotel trailer. Please bear with me =)

I’ve added two absolutely stunning new outtakes from Saoirse’s Vogue photoshoot with Boo George earlier this year. Thanks to the ever-lovely I Heart Saoirse for these! Amanda Michalka also posted a photo on Instagram of her, Saoirse, and Rose McIver on set of The Lovely Bones back in 2007. They were all so cute! Check it out in the gallery.

Saoirse discusses How I Live Now with Film4 in this new interview. You may remember she did a similar interview for The Lovely Bones with the channel back in late 2009 as well. You can watch it now by clicking the thumbnail below.
