Saoirse Ronan has a new film out at the end of the year: The Way Back. The 16 year-old Irish actress plays Irena, one of a group of people who persevere through unbelievable hardships to find freedom.
Inspired by Slavomir Rawicz's acclaimed novel, The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom as well as other real life accounts, six time Oscar nominated director Peter Weir’s (“Witness”, “Master And Commander”, & “Dead Poet’s Society”) “The Way Back” is a remarkable adventure story chronicling the escape of a small group of multi-national prisoners from a Siberian gulag in 1940 and their epic life affirming journey over thousands of miles across five hostile countries.
The Way Back gets a limited release on December 29th (just in time for Oscar nominations) and goes to more theaters January 21st.
