Ronan and Brosnan Team For ‘True Confessions’
17 Jul 2008 : Variety
Saoirse Ronan
Oscar nominated Irish actress Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, City of Ember) and Golden Globe nominated Irish actor Pierce Brosnan (Seraphim Falls, Mamma Mia) are set to star opposite Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby, The Bucket List) in ‘The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle’, helmed by actor/ director Danny DeVito (Matilda, The War of the Roses).

DeVito has written a screenplay based on the novel of the same name, which centres on a young girl (Ronan) who embarks on an adventurous journey from England to America in the 1830s. During her overseas voyage, she joins the crew as a seaman before being accused of murder by the ship’s ruthless captain.

De Vito’s new production outfit Jersey Films will produce along with 2nd Avenue, Freeman's Revelations Entertainment and Brosnan's Irish DreamTime.

The film is financed by HandMade Films and New York based property and hotel group Plaza Productions International. Producers on the pic are Michele Weisler, Lori McCreary, Beau St. Clair (Laws of Attraction, The Thomas Crown Affair) and Patrick Meehan with Thomas D. Adelman and Hawk Koch as executive producers.

Ronan will next be seen opposite Bill Murray in Northern Irish shot film 'City of Ember' and recently wrapped filming 'The Lovely Bones' on location in New Zealand. Brosnan is currently gracing cinema screens in musical ‘Mamma Mia!’

HandMade Films International is handling worldwide sales, with CAA managing U.S. rights. The film is set to begin shooting in September for a 2009 release.
