Saoire Ronan takes lead role Mary Queen of Scots
23-year old Irish actress Saoirse Ronan will take on the historical role of Mary Stuart in Josie Rourke’s Mary Queen of Scots movie.
Mary Queen of Scots follows the historical tale of Mary Stuart’s attempt to overthrow her cousin, Queen of England, Elizabeth I off the crown, but instead finds herself condemned to years of imprisonment before facing execution.
This week it was also announced Queen Elizabeth will be played by Australian actress Margot Robbie, known for her Harley Quinn-role in Suicide Squad. Josie Rourke (Much Ado About Nothing) will be directing the movie with help of Irish award winning Seamus Mc Garvey. The screenplay is handled, among others, by Michael Hirst who is known for the tv-series Vikings and The Tudors and House of Cards writer Beau Willimon.
