Ronan filmed two projects in 2019 which are both set for release later this year: Wes
Anderson’s new film, THE FRENCH DISPATCH, which Searchlight Pictures will release in July; and Francis Lee’s AMMONITE, in which she will star alongside Kate Winslet. Written and directed by Lee (GOD’S OWN COUNTRY), and inspired by the life of fossil hunter Mary Anning (Winslet), the film will be set in 1840’s England, when Anning and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea (Ronan) develop a relationship, altering both of their lives as they know them. Neon will release the film this fall.

Last year, Ronan starred as Jo March in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of LITTLE WOMEN alongside Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen, Meryl Streep, and Laura Dern. Her performance earned her Oscar, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations in the Lead Actress category. The film received 183 nominations, including Oscars, and grossed over $206 million globally. Sony released the film on Christmas Day.

In 2018, Ronan won a Golden Globe award and earned Oscar, Screen Actors Guild, BAFTA, Critics’ Choice and Independent Spirit award nominations for her performance in Greta Gerwig’s Golden Globe winning LADY BIRD. The Scott Rudin produced A24 film earned 197 nominations, including Oscar and Screen Actors Guild. Later that year, Ronan starred as the title character, Mary Stuart, in Focus Features’ MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS, directed by Josie Rourke and written by Beau Willimon.

In 2017, Ronan appeared in the Oscar and Golden Globe nominated LOVING VINCENT, an illustrated feature film about the life and death of Vincent Van Gogh; Dominic Cooke’s ON CHESIL BEACH, based on Ian McEwan’s novel by the same name; and an adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s THE SEAGULL, directed by Michael Mayer.
