Interview: Hanna director Joe Wright!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

HANNA, the new film by Joe Wright, is brilliant. Yet it is clearly no fluke as this incredibly talented director also brought us ATONEMENT, PRIDE & PREJUDICE and THE SOLOIST. Yet with Hanna, he proves to be extremely capable of making an action movie with heart and soul. This powerful tale of a young assassin is intense, beautiful and fascinating.

When JoBlo.com spoke to Wright, he elaborated on the connection that Hanna has to a fairy tale. We also spoke about the perfect casting of Saoirse Ronan and the hypnotic score by The Chemical Brothers. Hanna is a truly captivating movie from a skilled director. Whether he is taking on Jane Austin, or creating a dark and ethereal world of assassins, he is certainly proving to be one of the most gifted directors of this generation.

HANNA is a must-see. It opens Friday and it is well worth searching for.
