Saoirse Ronan’s Fiancé Jack Lowden Stepped Down from the Producing Company


Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden are leaving their producing company, Arcade Pictures, after releasing their debut project, Variety reports.

Lowden founded the company in 2019, along with producer Dominic Norris. Ronan, who is also engaged to Lowden, joined the company as a director in 2021.

While the couple is leaving the company, they continue to support its debut feature, The Outrun, which will have its international premiere at the Berlin Film Festival next week, according to the site. The film’s world premiere took place at Sundance last month.

“Arcade was formed to make The Outrun and Dominic will continue to drive that banner’s train,” a spokeswoman for the company stated.

“Jack and Saoirse are excited to celebrate the film as it makes its debut and beyond, and will continue looking for more passion projects to develop together in the future.”

In 2022, Arcade Pictures announced their first major feature film project, an adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s addiction memoir The Outrun, directed by Nora Fingscheidt.

Ronan stars in The Outrun as Rona, an alcoholic woman. After losing control of her life, she enters treatment before making her way to Scotland’s wild and lonely Orkney Islands, where she reconnects with the spectacular landscape in which she grew up.

The cast also features Paapa Essiedu, Stephane Dillane, and Saskia Reeves, who costarred in Lowden’s Slow Horses.
