Sources have informed Deadline that Saoirse Ronan and Austin Butler are set to star in Sean Durkin’s upcoming film Deep Cuts, which will be produced by A24. This project is an adaptation of Holly Brickley’s debut novel, which was released in bookstores this month, with Durkin also penning the screenplay.
To date, Durkin has directed three notable films: Martha Marcy May Marlene, The Nest, and The Iron Claw. The latter, produced by A24, received strong reviews and became a sleeper hit in late 2023. Here’s hoping Durkin maintains that momentum with this next project.
As of now, no production date has been set for Deep Cuts. Butler has two films scheduled for release in 2025, titled Eddington and Caught Stealing, along with several projects in development, including The Barrier, American Speed, City on Fire, and potentially Michael Mann’s Heat 2.
Meanwhile, the Oscar-nominated Ronan may be starring in Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of Narnia, which is expected to begin shooting this autumn. Last year, she appeared in two films: the Sundance hit The Outrun and the Steve McQueen-directed Blitz.
