After recent glimpses at Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett as their respective characters in Joe Wright’s “Hanna,” here’s your first look at lead Saoirse Ronan in the pic’s titular role.
The “Bourne” meets “Le Femme Nikita” style thriller follows a teenage assassin as she journeys across Europe after being sent on a mission by her father, while eluding enemy agents. We described it as a “super taut, on-the-run thriller that not only has adrenaline and a quickened pulse but a heart and soul as well” in our script review.
Joining the cast will also evidently be Olivia Williams who recently put in strong turns in Lone Scherfig’s “An Education” and Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer.” She’ll probably take the remaining prominent female role of the mother in a French family who befriends Hanna.
Shooting in currently taking place on location all over Europe with a 2011 release likely being targeted.
