Actress Saoirse Ronan Talks About 'City Of Ember'

Saoirse Ronan,16, plays Lina Mayfleet in the new movie City Of Ember, which premieres this Friday, October 10. She co-stars alongside Tim Robbins, Bill Murray and Harry Treadway.

The film is about an underground city that serves as a sanctuary for humanity, whose liveliness is provided by a generator with a 200-year lifespan. Now at the end of its two century existence, Ember 's lights are fading and civilzation is on the brink of collapse. Teenagers Lina (Ronan) and Doon (Treadway) are on a search for the clues on how to save their city and escape to a new world.

Ronan is an New York-born, Ireland-raised actress who was nominated for an Academy Award for her role as Briony Tallis in the 2007 movie Atonement, which also starred Kiera Knightley (The Duchess, Pirates of the Caribbean).
