'How I Live Now' Casts Saoirse Ronan
If ever a zombie apocalypse occurs, it can be quite easy to guess that Saoirse Ronan is a great partner, given the survival tips she acquired from her growing list of movies, with the Kevin Macdonald-helmed flick, "How I Live Now."
The "Lovely Bones" star is set to play the role of Daisy in the screen adaptation of the Meg Roskoff novel, wherein she will act as a New York city girl sent to the English countryside as a fictional World War three goes on.
"Jeremy Brock (who worked with Macdonald on 'The Last King Of Scotland') and Tony Grisoni have adapted Meg Roskoff's novel, which will find Ronan as Daisy, an argumentative girl from New York who is sent to England to stay with her cousins as an evacuee from a third world war. While she quickly adapts to life in the countryside, and finds romance, her world is shattered when enemy forces occupy the country and she's forced to survive along with the rest of the youngsters," reports Empire Online on the upcoming survival flick.
And survive Saoirse Ronan will, with "Hanna" and "The Way Back" part of her growing transcript. In Hanna, she played the title character who was raised by her father to become the perfect assassin in the icy regions of Finland. In "The Way Back," she plays Irena, the girl that the four escapees of a Siberian gulag come across and bring with them, battling not only men trying to kill them but the natural climates as well.
Presently, Ronan is shooting "Byzantium," where she will play a vampire named Eleanor, alongside Gemma Arterton known for her role as Tamina in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," but first, she will appear on the big screen as Daisy in the teen assassin film "Violet & Daisy," with Alexis Bledel. Aside from "How I Live Now," she is lined up to play in the screen adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's "The Host," a novel about an alien race taking over earth and the story of how the human mind of one girl refuses to cooperate.
With these list of movies, there is no asking why Saoirse Ronan is the best pick for surviving any apocalypse.
