TheIn February, Netflix announced the pseudo-sequel to science fiction The Cloverfield Paradox at the 52nd Super Bowl and quickly aired the film in the world after the final whistle. It's a very media-driven move that allowed the streaming giant to overcome all the ridiculously expensive ads that saturate the NFL cliché, even if the quality of the final product was clearly questionable.
This year, Amazon stole a sheet of Netflix's reading book by making the first episode of its new Hanna thriller series available to subscribers around the world after the big game, even if it's only for 24 hours. Despite her seemingly survival and fairy-tale nature of the enchanted forest, Hanna is basically a spying spectacle. Even this initial window adds a little more: "This message will self destruct". (The full season of the eight episodes will be released next month.)
The show is based on the 2011 film directed by Joe Wright and, in the opening episode at least, remains close to the source material. Hanna – performed by Esme Creed-Miles, daughter of actors Samantha Morton and Charlie Creed-Miles – is a conscious teenager raised in a remote Polish forest by her father Erik (Joel Kinnaman), a fragmentary secret agency bar. In a nervous opening in 2003, we see Erik, a shaved man, take out the Hanna baby from a Romanian facility under heavy surveillance, an apparently improvised escape attempt that ends in a tragic death.
Fifteen years later, between two barbeque dinners in his enlightened candle lair, Erik applies a rigorous home schooling regime of melee combat, weapons training and survival skills, as well as A Snowy IV snowy snowy training mount. Even though Hanna has never known anything but life in the forest, she has been bored for many years by spies, from mastering several languages to memorizing a plausible cover story.
In the original film, Saoirse Ronan played Hanna as an elven archer with an ethereal detachment, almost from another world. Creed-Miles already seems more down to earth and more determined, a deadly baby Bourne. ("Well, well," Erik mumbles after sneaking into Hanna during a hunting trip and being quickly choked.)
Since we meet Hanna in adolescence, it seems obvious that she will try to test the literal limits imposed by her father. She quickly ventures beyond her designated safety zone and meets a pale 17-year-old lumberjack man who smokes cigarettes and – instead of a bad-boy motorcycle – bombs a six-wheeled ATV. Which 15-year-old girl would not have her head turned? Arvo is also intrigued by this forest girl who seems strangely composed, rather than wild, even though she struggles with the concept of a text message.
This temporary relationship – which includes a twilight date huddling on a huge satellite dish – brings even more excitement to Hanna and risks compromising her sanctuary. While most of the action takes place in the hushed and snow-covered forest, the lingering feeling of an obscure military apparatus waiting to resume its course, under the control of steel Marissa (Mireille Enos) Enos's cast alongside Kinnaman will be a late treat for fans of the American adaptation of The Killing, where the couple rubs themselves like a frenzied detective partner, though to this day they do not share any time on the screen.
Despite a supportive cast including Cate Blanchett, the movie has not changed much, but it could work in favor of the show. It is supervised by one of the original authors of the film, David Farr (who later adapted The Night Manager) and who could probably provide a retreading of the film without anyone being disturbed. However, Farr seems to be aiming for a different tone: the film presents a thrilling score of the Chemical Brothers, while the clever series recruits Karen O to provide some plaintive covers.
The first episode ends with Hanna heading for the world, although it is not as expected. After seeing brief flashes of her in action at her home – fast, efficient, clever – the prospect of working in a modern urban environment is attractive enough to be tuned throughout the season. But maybe he's saying something about how our world has evolved over the past eight years so that the idea of staying in Erik's cave to eat venison steaks and do push-ups to the machine is almost as attractive.
The full season of Hanna will be published on Amazon Prime in March
