Niels Arestrup (“Un Prophete”) has joined the cast of the action-thriller “Hanna”, directed by Joe Wright. The film begins principle photography in Europe next week.
Arestrup joins Saoirse Ronan (“Atonement), Cate Blanchett (“Elizabeth: The Golden Age”, “Robin Hood”), and Eric Bana (“Star Trek”) in the film.
The project’s official synopsis reads;
“Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl. Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a solider; these come from being raised by her father (Bana), an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Sweden. Living a life unlike any other teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.”
