Saoirse Ronan To Star In Satirical Thriller Bad Apples.


Saoirse Ronan is set to star in Jonatan Etzler's upcoming English-language debut, "Bad Apples".

Ronan has been very busy, as of late. Last year, she starred in the film, “See How They Run.” This year, she’s appeared in “Foe” and has two more films on the horizon with “Blitz” and “The Outrun.” She’s one of the best young actors working today, having earned a whopping four Oscar nominations for her performances.

Written by Jess O’Kane, Bad Apples adapts Rasmus Lindgren’s debut novel De Oönskade. The film tells the story of Maria (Ronan), a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 10-year-olds but unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student. With her career in question and the child’s behavior spiraling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this "bad apple" in her home. Maria tries desperately to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.

It’s unclear when we might see “Bad Apples” appear on streaming or in theaters. The film is being shopped around at AFM this year. However, production is hoping to begin in spring 2024. If that’s the case, we can possibly see the film in late-2024 or, more likely, early 2025.
