Many thanks to Saoirse Ronan Web, I’ve added six outtakes from Saoirse’s Teen Vogue shoot from back in 2009. Be sure to check them out. Enjoy!

Volunteer lifeboat crew with Wicklow RNLI received a surprise visitor during their navigation course this morning (Monday 23 January 2012). Well known actress Saoirse Ronan dropped in to say hello while filming nearby. The actress was filming scenes for director Neil Jordan’s new film ‘Byzantium’ at Wicklow harbour.

Tommy Dover, Wicklow RNLI volunteer said, ” Saoirse kindly agreed to pose with some of the lifeboat crew from Wicklow RNLI and hear all about the work of the charity. We were delighted to welcome her and if she ever wants to sign up as lifeboat crew, she is more than welcome.”

The RNLI is holding their SOS fundraising day this Friday with events happening all around the country. Funds raised are going towards purchasing new lifejackets for the volunteer lifeboat crews. The target is €160,000.

Wicklow RNLI lifeboat crew are no strangers to famous actors visiting the lifeboat station. Both Brendan Gleeson and Don Cheadle called into the lifeboat station while they were filming The Guard nearby. Source

As you can tell, Access Saoirse has had a layout change! The extremely talented Shelley of Milk and Blue Photography made it; isn’t it simply amazing? It’s quite different from anything we’ve ever had, which is a great thing! We really hope you love it as much as we do!

On a similar note, the tagboard has returned to the sidebar. Please feel free to leave your comments and remember to follow the rules. =) Enjoy and happy 2012!

Saoirse was again spotted on the Byzantium set, this time on December 15th. I’ve added 13 photos, thanks to the Saoirse Ronan LiveJournal. Enjoy!

Congratulations Saoirse!

Hanna star Saoirse Ronan is set to topline Kevin Macdonald’s How I Live Now, an indie drama based on the 2004 novel by Meg Rosoff.

Ronan will play Daisy, a teenage girl from New York City who travels to England to spend the summer with family in the English countryside. When World War II breaks out and insurgents invade, Daisy and a younger girl named Piper must survive alone in the woods as they try to make it to safety.

Jeremy Brock (Macdonald’s The Last King of Scotland) and Tony Grisoni wrote the script. Film 4 is producing the pic with Charles Steel and Alasdair Flind of Cowboy Films.

Ronan is currently filming Neil Jordan’s Byzantium and will next be seen opposite Alexis Bledel in Geoffrey Fletcher’s teen assassin pic Violet & Daisy. Irish thesp is also set to topline Andrew Niccol’s adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s young adult novel The Host.

Ronan is repped by CAA and Macfarlane Chard. Source

Saoirse, her costar Caleb Landry Jones and director Neil Jordan were all spotted on set of Byzantium earlier today in Dublin. 31 pictures have been added to the gallery. I must say, I’m already excited for the film based on these photos. And I’m loving Saoirse’s new hair color; I think it really suits her! =) Enjoy!
