Joe Wright has all these while making names with costumed Oscar nominated flicks like Pride & Prejudice and Atonement. Although lately, his The Soloist did not drumming in the same percussion as the former two, it is still interesting to see what is his next project.
Some may alrady know (not reported in Green Tea Movie) that his supposed next Indian Summer was dropped off of making due to budget problem. Well, it seems that he has new attachment on. Taking into a pretty different direction is Hanna, an action-adventure thriller story about a teenage assassin.
EO and The Hollywood Reporter describe the movie as "Hanna is a 14 year-old Eastern European girl who has been raised to become a "cold-blooded killing machine". She finds a new life when she "connects" with a French family, and in particular befriends their daughter, but her father soon pulls her back into his world. She learns then that she was "bred as a killer in a CIA prison camp" (which shouldn't have come as much surprise given her previous training) and then tries to fight her way to freedom and a normal life."
The script was written by Seth Lochhead and David Farr, and has had a lot of buzz around it, with Danny Boyle and Alfonso Cuaron also interested at one point.
