Watch the Trailer for Saoirse Ronan’s New Film, The Seagull

The trailer for Saoirse Ronan’s new film, The Seagull has been released. Based on the 1896 stage play by Anton Chekhov, Saoirse is joined in the film by Annette Bening.

The film, “follows an aging actress named Irina Arkadina (Bening), who visits her brother, Pjotr, and son, Konstantin (Billy Howle) on a secluded country estate. As temperatures (and passions) rise in the throes of summer, Irina disrupts the placid social scene by introducing a successful novelist, Boris (Corey Stoll), to Nina (Ronan), a free-spirited young woman from a neighboring estate. Nina ultimately falls in love with Boris, which causes a stir among her peers — namely Irina’s son, whose affections for Nina come to a head as Boris seemingly chews up her heart and spits it out.”

The film will open on May 11.
