Blockbuster.co.uk posted a really good interview they did with Saoirse on their website. Below is a snippet from the interview, click here to read more!

“The biggest physical and emotional challenge that I faced on the film,” reveals Ronan, “was the scene underground. The scene where I’m lured into the bunker and, though you don’t really see it, the scene where I’m murdered by George [Stanley Tucci]. There’s that shot of me escaping, which is what we all want to believe happened, and that took a long time to figure out. It was a bit more difficult than usual to completely commit myself to the physical side of that scene as for one, I had a cold, and secondly there was so much going on emotionally. It was pretty draining.

“I was lucky that when she shot that scene, we were quite far into the shooting process, so we’d had lots of time to prepare for it. Also Stanley was really helpful. We got on very well from the time we first met and now we’re really close. We didn’t really know each other until we started that scene, so it could have been intense, but we kept the atmosphere light. Because Stanley is a family man himself, in between takes he felt the need to take care of me and make sure that I was okay, which I thought was very sweet. Even though he was still in that state of mind, he was able to switch from this monster he was playing to the father he really is, because it’s natural in him.”

Moviefone finally posted their interview with Susan Sarandon, Rachel Weisz, and Saoirse for The Lovely Bones right here. I’m excited because my question made the cut (even though I made it up on a whim and wish it was better!). Screen captures coming soon!

Edit - Screen captures are now in the gallery, including the one of “our” question, which I realized was worded differently that what I asked originally! I asked if there was a character from any book she would love to play. She did answer saying she was reading Anne Frank.

Here is the second video! Saoirse and Rose McIver made an appearance on Artist on Artist (Myspace). You can watch the video here. Screen captures are in the gallery.

New videos with Saoirse have been appearing on YouTube. First up is a new interview from The Lovely Bones Royal premiere right here. Screen captures are in the gallery.

Saoirse did a phone interview with Tufts University about The Lovely Bones. You can read the entire thing at this site. Here is an excerpt.

Q: In both “Atonement” and “The Lovely Bones,” there are a lot of very dark themes, and your character always seems to be right in the middle of the gloom. Given that you’re kind of a cheerful person in real life, how do you place yourself in such dark situations that these movies portray?

SR: You know, I find sometimes it’s quite easy to be the opposite of how you are in real life. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s just because it’s not somewhere that I go very often. The door is always open for me to go there. It just takes a lot of thinking and I really understood Susie and Peter.
