In this true story of soldiers escaping from a Siberian gulag in 1940, Colin is apparently going to be playing a tough, tattooed Russian. Ed Harris an American, and Jim Sturgess a Polish inmate. While the young Saoirse Ronan is also on the run and this is how she meets with the fugitives. Should be interesting?
PS.
I'm not sure if Saoirse is Russian, or Polish, there's seem to be conflicting evidence as to which, so I will remain open on my casting!
I don't know if I understood correctly, but Saoirse is Irish by birth. I don't know who she is playing though.
ReplyDeleteI believe so, she was born in 1994 and her father is an Irish actor named Paul Ronan and I'm sure he was in the film Veroncia Guerin which Colin also starred in! As for The Way Back, I'm still unclear as to whether she is playing a Russian or a Polish girl?!
