Saoirse Ronan Says There ‘Wasn’t Really an Escape’ From WWII Drama ‘Blitz’ While Filming: ‘You’d Put on the News and See Exactly the Same Thing’
Saoirse Ronan said the relevance of Steve McQueen's WWII drama 'Blitz' amid global conflict made it difficult to 'escape' during production.
Ronan stars in the historical drama as Rita, a distraught mother who frantically searches for her 9-year-old son George (newcomer Elliott Heffernan) after sending him away from London to the countryside during the Blitz. The cast also includes Harris Dickinson, Erin Kellyman, Stephen Graham, Kathy Burke, Paul Weller, Leigh Gill and Benjamin Clementine. “Blitz” world premieres on Wednesday as the opening night gala of this year’s BFI London Film Festival.
