Saoirse Ronan ("The Lovely Bones") is in negotiations to reteam with her "Atonement" director Joe Wright in "Hanna" for Focus Features reports Heat Vision Blog.
According to Heat Vision: Ronan would play the title role of Hannah, a 14-year-old Eastern European girl who has been raised by her father to be a cold-blooded killing machine. She connects with a French family, forms a friendship with their daughter and goes through the pangs of adolescence.
When the girl is dragged back to her father's world and discovers that she was bred as a killing machine in a CIA prison camp, she must fight her way to a free life.
Seth Lochhead and David Farr penned the script with Leslie Holleran. "Hanna" is described as having shades of "La Femme Nikita" and the "Bourne" movies.
Ronan was fantastic the last time she worked with Wright on 2007’s “Atonement”. She received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and most recently she starred in Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones.”
I think Wright is a fantastic director, but his last film “The Soloist” received mixed reviews. Hopefully working with Ronan again will bring him success, although this would be his first foray into an action-oriented film.
Look for “Hanna” to shoot later this year.
