Sony Pictures Classics has announced The Outrun release date for its newest drama movie starring Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird, Little Women). It is based on acclaimed author Amy Liptrot’s 2016 memoir of the same name.
“After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona (Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly the mystical 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.”
When is The Outrun release date?
Following its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival last January, The Outrun is now scheduled to debut in U.S. theaters nationwide on October 4, 2024. Its current theatrical release date will pit the film directly against Joker: Folie à Deux and White Bird. The drama will also be debuting in the same month as highly-anticipated movies like We Live in Time, Smile 2, and Venom: The Last Dance.
Described as an “acutely honest drama about addiction and recovery,” the film is directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay she co-wrote with Liptrot. It also stars Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones), and Saskia Reeves (Slow Horses). Producers are Ronan, Sarah Brocklehurst, Dominic Norris, and Jack Lowden.
