Saoirse was spotted outside of the Merrion Hotel in Dublin with her parents.

TV3/Xpose released an interview they did with Saoirse at the Dublin premiere.

Here’s another shoot Saoirse did in Japan.

Saoirse attended The Lovely Bones Dublin Premiere last night. I only found three images so far, hope more will surface. EDIT: More images added. We now have 8 HQs and 35 MQs in the gallery!

BAFTA-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan finally arrived in Dublin last night for the premiere of Peter Jackson’s film ‘The Lovely Bones’ and said it was the one she was most looking forward to.

After spending the last few weeks at first nights of the film in Sydney, Wellington, Los Angeles and London, the 15-year-old star found herself outside Dublin’s Savoy theatre having her name shouted by photographers.

“I’ve been all over the world with this film but the Irish premiere was the one I was most looking forward too. It’s really important because this is my home, where my family and friends live. To be here and share a film which I care about so much is really wonderful,” Ronan told the Irish Independent.

Wearing a vintage black moschino dress despite the winter chill, the actress, already nominated for an Oscar for the 2007 film ‘Atonement’, said she considered as “hype” speculation that she could be up for another Oscar when the list of nominees are announced next month.

“It may happen, it may not, at the moment it’s only hype. I really don’t know what way it’s going to go,” she said.

While on her recent Bafta nomination she said: “I was delighted to be nominated, and very happy for Stanley (her co-star in the film Stanley Tucci). I thought he might well get the nod, but it was a genuine lovely surprise to hear I had got one too.”

Organisers of last night’s premiere had hoped that co-stars Stanley Tucci and Susan Sarandon, along with Rachel Weisz, who plays her mother in the film, would attend the Irish night but it wasn’t possible.

01.27.10 : “The Lovely Bones” Dublin Premiere

Torontosun.com released an interview with two new shoots of Saoirse and Rose.

There’s nothing like a road trip to cement a new friendship.

So it was with the Oscar-nominated teen Saoirse Ronan and New Zealand actress Rose McIver, 22, who visited Toronto last week on the latest whistle-stop of their tour to promote The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson’s adaptation of Alice Sebold’s book about a murdered 14-year-old who looks upon the aftermath of her life from a place called “the in-between.”

The two play sisters — albeit ones separated by death. Ronan is Susie Salmon, the protagonist, who watches as her “kid sister” Lindsey (McIver) ages from 11 to 19, experiencing first kisses and other milestones denied to her by Mr. Harvey, the psychotic child-killer next door (Stanley Tucci).

In real life, McIver and Ronan became inseparable friends, who touch and play with each other’s hair almost by habit. This despite the fact that they share few scenes in this vail of tears.

“It was funny that I got along so well with Rosie, considering we didn’t do that much together,” says Ronan, who burst onto the scene with a best-supporting actress Oscar nomination for Atonement.” After location filming in Pennsylvania, “she came and visited us on the set in New Zealand and we used to hang out a lot.

“Travelling around like this together is a lot of fun.”

“Although,” McIver adds, “on a visit like this, there’s not much time to do much more than what we’re doing now.”

“But we’re on to L.A. next,” Ronan says excitedly. “And I’m sure we’ll go to (the trendy shopping district) The Grove or something. The last time we were there somebody recognized us and took pictures. It was really weird.”

Ronan admits her life changed radically after the Oscars. “It does open doors, it was incredible and unexpected. But things are even more busy now after The Lovely Bones, even more so than during the Oscars. I have a movie I’m about to start (reportedly the movie Hanna, in which she plays an East European teen trained as an assassin), but I can’t talk about it because it’s not completely signed, sealed and delivered.”

And with an array of choices, she says The Lovely Bones was still a no-brainer. “One of the best directors in the world, the script was incredible. And the idea of my character being in the in-between and not on Earth was very appealing. I was by myself a lot of the time. I like working that way.

“As an actor, I found it easier when I was in the in-between than when I was on Earth. Part of acting is separation and escaping yourself.”

McIver, who just finished shooting Predicament with Flight Of The Conchords’ Jemaine Clement, still hedges her bets on acting (she’s majoring in linguistics and psychology).

Not so Ronan, who looks far enough down the road to say she’d like to write and direct some day. She is wistful about McIver’s school experiences though.

“I have to be tutored. There’s only about three schools where I live (in Ireland’s County Carlow), and the attention I was getting at one of them wasn’t the right kind,” she says. “I don’t really want to go into it, but they didn’t make it easy for me.”

In the meantime, The Lovely Bones is in the middle of its own awards-season circus, and Jackson’s changes have irked some fans of the book.

“I read Twilight,” Ronan says, “and everything in the movie wasn’t exactly the way I’d imagined it. But I accepted it because it was the film version.”
