3 movie clips for “Arrietty” were recently released, Saoirse is voicing the main character Arrietty in the movie. The movie is currently in cinemas in the UK (since July 29). You can watch the clips below/inside.

JoBlo.com just released their interview with Saoirse talking about “Hanna”. Don’t forget: “Hanna” will be on DVD/Blu-Ray September 6.

We sit down with star Saoirse Ronan as she talks about her new thriller “Hanna”.

Saoirse is part of the voice cast for the UK version of “Arrietty“, she will voice Arrietty herself in the adaption from Mary Norton‘s The Borrowers by Hayao Miyazaki, Keiko Niwa.

[...] And it will sound pretty good too – note that the UK dubbed version will feature a different (and indeed, preferable) voice cast to the US iteration. We in blighty will get Saoirse Ronan, Olivia Colman, Mark Strong and Phyllida Law.

Anyway, a good cast. The US get Bridgit Mendler, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Carol Burnett – none of whom exactly seem to match the setting or tone so well. Score one to Optimum, the UK distributors.

Having said all of that, I’ll still opt for a subtitled version, personally.

The film will go on release on July 29th, though Picture House Cinemas will be screening it as their Kid’s Club in the 23rd. Adults will need to have a kid with them, but there’s a lot of Little Bleeders with families, I know.

Let’s score Optimum another point for getting the film out this year. US audiences will be waiting until February 2012. If I were in the States I’d start shopping for a multi-region Blu-ray player now.
