Ronan - Set to star in The Hobbit
According to IFTN, the movie's casting director Ros Hubbard confirmed Ronan's involvement in the film.
Speaking about the strong Irish presence in the movie, with Aidan Turner and James Nesbitt already signed up, Hubbard said: "We had been wanting to put Aidan Turner into film for a long time because he had done an awful lot of TV and we told him when we finally met him, 'We are going to concentrate on getting you into the movies.' I didn't think it would be as big as this. But how great for him."
"And Jimmy is thrilled to bits, his whole family have gone out, it is just wonderful. And working with Peter Jackson is like working with a family. So they'll have a great time."
"Saoirse's family will go too, everyone is very close and very loving on those sorts of jobs. It's not like typical studio movies at all."
