The project reunites Sony Pictures Classics with Ronan, who previously starred in the 2018 film adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
Based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot, who co-wrote the screenplay with director Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher), The Outrun follows Rona (Ronan), a 29-year-old who returns home to the Orkney Islands after a decade away from London. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memories of the events that set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly, the mystical land seeps into her inner world and—one day at a time—Rona finds hope and strength within herself amid the fierce storms and bracingly cold sea.
The film had its world premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival and subsequently screened in Berlin and several other theaters. The film also stars Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones) and Saskia Reeves (Slow Horses).
