Nick Hornby

A young woman from Blackpool finds her voice in the male dominated world of the 1960s comedy, and in doing so takes London by storm.

Saoirse Ronan leads this romance set in the 1950s as Ellis Lacey, a young Irish woman who emigrates to New York in search of a new life. Based on the novel by Colm Tóibín and adapted for the screen by Nick Hornby (An Education, Wild).

The director of Dallas Buyers Club helms this true-story, self-discovery drama starring Reese Witherspoon (in an Oscar-nominated performance). Witherspoon plays Cheryl Strayed, who took it upon herself to hike solo across 1,800kms of America.

Novelist Nick Hornby turns to screenplays with this drama directed by Lone Scherfig (Italian for Beginners, Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself) - winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival 2009.
