Thanks to Milie for the heads up.
Amazon is betting on a film adaptation to be its next breakout hit.
The streaming service has greenlit a television adaptation of Hanna, Joe Wright's 2011 film starring Saoirse Ronan. David Farr, who co-wrote the original Focus Features film and most recently adapted John Le Carre’s The Night Manager at AMC, is set to pen the script. Wright will not be involved with the project.
Hanna is a high-concept thriller and coming-of-age drama that follows the journey of an extraordinary young girl as she evades the relentless pursuit of an off-book CIA agent and tries to unearth the truth behind who she is. Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements will serve as executive producers on the series alongside Scott Nemes and JoAnn Alfano for NBCUniversal International Studios. Scott Herbst and Tom Coan will be co-executive producers.
