The new trailer has been released for The Outrun, starring four-time Oscar ® Nominee Saoirse Ronan (LADY BIRD) alongside Emmy nominee Paapa Essiedu (I MAY DESTROY YOU), BAFTA winner Stephen Dillane (ALEX RIDER) and Saskia Reeves (SLOW HORSES).
Directed by Nora Fingscheidt (SYSTEM CRASHER), THE OUTRUN debuted to critical acclaim at Sundance and the Berlin International Film Festival earlier this year, and will have its UK premiere as the Opening Night film at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in August.
THE OUTRUN will be released in cinemas across the UK & Ireland on Friday 27 September 2024 and in the US on 4th October 2024,
Adapted from the best-selling memoir of the same name by Amy Liptrot, THE OUTRUN is a searingly honest drama about addiction, survival and the power of nature to restore life and renew hope, set in the wild northern Orkney islands.
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands. Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the beauty and lore of the land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea.
THE OUTRUN was developed by Sarah Brocklehurst of Brock Media, Dominic Norris of Arcade Pictures, Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden, with the support of BBC Film and Screen Scotland.
Brocklehurst, Norris, Ronan and Lowden produced the film, and were joined by co-producers Jonas Weydemann and Jakob D. Weydemann of Weydemann Bros, and Shirin Hartmann.
Protagonist Pictures has arranged the financing, with Luane Gauer, Janina Vilsmaier, George Hamilton and James Pugh executive producing alongside Claudia Yusef for BBC Film, Kieran Hannigan for Screen Scotland and Maria Logan and Anne Sheehan for MBK Productions.

Short filmTranscript
00:00Sometimes you can feel a vibration in Orkney, a low rumble, it takes over the whole island
00:12and every part of your body, but there is only so much height any wave can sustain before
00:23it comes crashing down.
00:38The urge to drink can come out of nowhere, you think you're doing well, suddenly you
00:43want nothing more than a drink.
00:50How does London compare to Parby?
00:52A bit more going on, I guess.
00:56So how long do you think you'll stay here for?
01:01I have a life that I have to get back to.
01:03How's mum?
01:05She offered to put me into her prayers.
01:08I'm scared.
01:09I miss it.
01:10I miss her.
01:11I miss it.
01:12I miss how good it made me feel.
01:15Hi.
01:16So how long you been sober?
01:20Sixty three days.
01:23It never gets easy, it just gets less hard.
01:42My body is a continent.
01:45My breath pushes the clouds across the sky and the waves roll into the shore in time
01:54with my beating heart.
