While the big news out of New York Comic Con (NYCC) this weekend was the surprise Ghostbusters: Afterlife screening (check out our review here), the con also dropped a couple of cool TV trailers you can catch up on right here!
However, the biggest news to come out of the Comic-Con is no doubt that the great Ray Liotta has joined the cast of Amazon Prime Video’s Hanna. This much was revealed via the trailer to the series, which is based on the fantastic Joe Wright film of the same name. According to Amazon, Liotta plays “Gordon Evans, a respected former military man and intelligence operative who wields incredible insider power. Evans sees himself as a visionary with a rigid moral code, a true patriot who will do what needs to be done to protect his country.”
Hanna, the series, stars Esmé Creed-Miles as the titular character, who was trained by a secret organization called Utrax, which she’s now on the run from. While in the original film, Marissa Wiegler, as played by Cate Blanchett, was the sadistic baddie, on the show she’s an ally who helped Hanna free herself from the organization’s grasp.
Season three picks up with the two having “coerced high-ranking Utrax agent John Carmichael (Dermot Mulroney) into aiding their mission, but her fellow young assassins, Sandy (Áine Rose Daly) and Jules (Gianna Kiehl), and new foes are starting to suspect Hanna’s plot. As Hanna moves closer to her goal, she begins to uncover not only a world-changing agenda but the true power behind Utrax that stands between her and freedom.”
Hanna, season three, premieres on November 24th, and Amazon will be releasing all six episodes at once. I’ll admit I’ve never watched the show, only because I think the original film is perfect, and how can one improve on perfection? That said, the addition of Liotta is intriguing.
