A year has passed since Saoirse Ronan‘s lovely, Oscar nominated turn in “Brooklyn,” and the actress has been busy making a string of movies. And among the most promising is “On Chesil Beach,” and the first look has landed.

Based on the book by Ian McEwen, and co-starring Billy Howle, Dominic Cooke (“The Hollow Crown“) directs the movie, set in the 1960s, that follows Florence and Edward, a virginal young couple, who have their wedding night ruined when a misunderstanding between them arises. Sounds like an intense, intimate drama, and another choice role for Ronan to shine in. And it’ll look great too with Sean Bobbitt (“12 Years A Slave,” “Hunger,” “Shame“) handling cinematography duties.
No release date yet for “On Chesil Beach,” but I’d assume this will pop up on the festival circuit later this year.
