WHERE IS HANNA ON AMAZON PRIME FILMED?<doc-sep>How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World on DVD and Blu-ray in May How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World on DVD and Blu-ray in May by Alexandria Ingham The show you’ve all been waiting for is here. Hanna Season 1 is now officially streaming on Amazon Prime Video. We’ve been waiting since the beginning of the year for Hanna to drop. That was when we learned it was coming in March and we’ve had to wait until the end of the month to catch it all. Now it’s finally here. Hanna Season 1 is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. After the initial 24-hour release of the first episode, viewers have been eagerly anticipating the other seven episodes. That pilot episode simply set up the story, giving us a little backstory on Hanna as a baby and how she and her father were found in the woods after 16 years of secrecy. There was a chance to see some of the training Hanna had been through over the years. While she’s just a girl, she’s also one of the strongest, tactically smartest women out there. Many will underestimate her because of her size and that’s going to see her become a dangerous asset or foe. Watch with a 30-day FREE trial of Amazon Prime You can watch all eight episodes right now. This is likely going to become your weekend binge — it’s certainly mine! Once you’ve watched it the first time, you’ll want to check it out a second time. There are bound to be elements that you miss. If you watched the movie starring Eric Bana and Saoirse Ronan, you will certainly notice a lot of differences. The Prime Original has one of the movie co-writers involved, which means there are still some similarities but this is a chance to delve deeper into the story because of extra time.

Hanna Season 1 is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.<doc-sep>In the series the Grimms are gone, and Hanna (played by the young British actress Esme Creed-Miles) is less magical heroine and more angtsy teenage supersoldier — la femme Nikita without the clingy dresses. The heroes are less heroic and the baddies less monstrous, and their back stories are expanded in ways that make them more “complex” but no more interesting. The mysteries of Hanna’s past are explored in much greater detail, while the sense of mystery never quite takes hold. The literalization of the story for streaming-series purposes is encapsulated in the new opening, a long, expository chase scene that was a brief flashback in the film. Another crucial change in the first episode, discreetly slipped into the dialogue, recasts the entire plot, changing the motive for Hanna’s mission from revenge to survival — a switch that lowers the intensity but opens the door for complications, digressions and future seasons. A more prosaic “Hanna” could certainly succeed on its own terms in the crowded field of action-oriented conspiracy thriller. The bigger problem, though, is that most of what Farr has added to pad out the story is drab filler: marital strife in the normal family that shelters Hanna, Marissa’s problems with work-life balance, boyfriend tensions between Hanna and her pal Sophie. (Rhianne Barreto, as the angry Sophie, gives the show’s most energetic and engaging performance.) The series is filled with all the things that Wright, in the film, proved the story could do without. Beating “Hanna” the series with the stick of “Hanna” the film would be less fair if the series didn’t, through about six episodes, hew so closely to the framework of the movie. And you can’t really address the subject without noting the perfect casting in the original of Saoirse Ronan as Hanna, with her ability to be both ethereal and feral, dreamlike and convincingly physical. Creed-Miles, by comparison, is, well, a good soldier. Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman, as Marissa and Erik, work hard in roles that have been glummed down from what Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana played in the original. If you stick with Amazon’s “Hanna,” its energy and interest (if not originality) tick up in the last couple episodes, when the story definitively moves beyond that of the movie and capitalizes on a couple of plot possibilities that the film closed off or glossed over. Yasmin Monet Prince, a striking British actress with a very short list of screen credits, turns up as a character you wish had been around for the previous six hours. Suddenly it feels like you’re in a fairy tale again.<doc-sep>“Hanna” is the story of a teen assassin, raised in Finland by an ex-CIA father. Hailed as a different type of action movie, and helmed by auteur director Joe Wright, the drama jump started the A-list career of Saoirse Ronan, who has gone on to multiple Oscar nominations and become the type of actress who in her early 20s can pick projects at will. Except, that’s the 2011 movie version of “Hanna.” This is a review of the 2019 TV version of “Hanna,” a new Amazon series that takes the plot of the original film, which was a nuanced deconstructionist interpretation of the action genre, and turns it back into a far more simplistic narrative that it probably was always meant to be. This is not to say the new “Hanna” is exactly bad. If you haven’t seen the original film, it’s a perfectly fine action-adventure tale. This is not to say the new “Hanna” is exactly bad. If you haven’t seen the original film, it’s a perfectly fine action-adventure tale; “Harriet The Spy” turned up to 11 and then some. (Assuming, of course, that “Harriet The Spy” was a ruthless killer on par with “La Femme Nikita.”) The titular role this time is played by Esme Creed-Miles. And while it may be a little too soon to say this show could launch Creed-Miles’ career in the same way that it did Saoirse Ronan’s, she’s clearly an actress to watch. SIGN UP FOR THE THINK WEEKLY NEWSLETTER HERE Her father Erik is played by Swedish star Joel Kinnaman. His is a serviceable and solid performance, as he turns Hanna into a lethal killing machine with one target in mind: Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos), the woman responsible for killing his wife and Hanna’s mother. Enos, who gained acclaim for her portrayal of a complex detective in “The Killing,” attempts to remake her character with compassion, perhaps aware she cannot pull off the same level of inhumane ruthlessness Cate Blanchett originally created. Amazon’s choice to turn a film like “Hanna” into a TV show is not, on its face, a wrongheaded move. One of the complaints about the movie was the episodic nature of the story, which did not immediately lend itself to the flow of a two-hour film. And Amazon certainly has the budget to take the action sequences and remake them for the smaller screen. The streaming service’s calling card is how expensive its series look, whether it’s shooting an episode of “Mrs. Maisel” in Paris or staging a Hollywood-level fire fight in Afghanistan in “Jack Ryan.” Remaking an artsy auteur film also seems like a win-win situation when one considers how much prestige TV has been leaning into the idea of television as a way of telling a more extended version of a single story. Multiple series have claimed that theirs is really an eight, or ten or even 13-hour movie, rather than a show. The problem is, transforming a movie from two hours into eight means that something must be added somewhere. “Hanna” is stubbornly unwilling to do facilitate this narrative expansion. Especially in the early episodes, the TV show and movie match practically point for point. The one key difference? All of the film's fantasy elements have been removed. Remaking an artsy auteur film also seems like a win-win situation when one considers how much prestige TV has been leaning into the idea of television as a way of telling a more extended version of a single story. It takes nearly three hours for the series to begin to really deviate from Wright’s material. When it does, it doesn’t go off in a new direction, instead choosing to indulge in a far more conventional series of tropes. Some of these changes are welcome. For example, the production spends far more time exploring the consequences of what happens when a child raised away from the real world is suddenly dumped into the 21st century. There’s alsomore time given to Hanna’s friendship with Sophie (Rhianne Barreto), and Hanna’s interactions with Sophie’s more normal British family. These scenes give the story a more realistic and grounded place to work from, painting the picture of a teenager attempting to become heroically well-adjusted despite being raised to become a deadly assassin with espionage skills that would put James Bond to shame. However, in grounding the story in this realism, the series dumps all the fairy tale aspects that made the movie “Hanna” so strange and wonderful. The original tale was told through the eyes of a young girl’s overactive imagination, blending insane, all-consuming training with bedtime stories. Eventually, it becomes nearly impossible to divorce what is fantasy and what is real in Hanna’s head. In the show, all the references, both direct and indirect, to “Red Riding Hood,” “Hansel and Gretel” and other Eastern European traditional folklore are dropped. The quarries Hanna stalks are no longer big bad wolves, there are no wicked witches; instead, we have a coming-of-age story overlaid on a straightforward spy-vs-spy battle. Those who loved the original “Hanna” will most likely be disappointed. Those looking to turn this into a story that can last 16 or 24 episodes will see the potential. But one can’t help but wonder why this had to be a mutually exclusive endeavor. Amazon clearly believes in the project. The service has been pushing the series hard, releasing the opening episode for 24 hours post-Super Bowl in February, and then airing the next two at the Berlin Film Festival a couple of weeks later. This slow roll-out strategy was clearly designed to create buzz ahead of this weekend’s drop of all eight episodes. Whether it will be enough for get audiences to watch remains to be seen. But Amazon Prime users who appreciate this teenage girl spy story may also want to check out the original “Hanna,” too.<doc-sep>
Open this photo in gallery Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) is an avenger – tougher than all the rest, and at the same time, is a wide-eyed innocent, looking with wonderment through unblinking eyes at the contemporary world so familiar to all of us, old or young. Jonathan Prime/Amazon Studios For reasons that are not quite discernible, Amazon Prime Video put a lot of weight behind the new series Hanna. The show was promoted during the Super Bowl and the first episode made available for the following 24 hours. As soon as the series began streaming last Friday, its promotion was inescapable on social media. Amazon has loads of money to toss around on projects and promotion, but why was this drama given so much attention? Hanna is very entertaining, lavishly made and ridiculously uneven. It stands as an example of the wobbly quality of so many expensively made series on streaming services. It is not, mind you, devoid of value. It’s the kind of high-end trashy TV storytelling that often contains surprising depths. So, let’s try to discern its importance for Amazon. Principally, one suspects, it’s about the lure of its title character, an unknowable but kickass teenage girl. Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) is an avenger – tougher than all the rest, and at the same time is a wide-eyed innocent, looking with wonderment through unblinking eyes at the contemporary world so familiar to all of us, old or young. There’s a touch of Orphan Black simmering in the series, plus a touch of La femme Nikita and a dash of Alias seeps into it. But unlike those other fictions, the central charter of Hanna is emphatically a teenage girl. What you’ve got is innocent-but-badass teenage girl as empowerment icon. Story continues below advertisement Open this photo in gallery Joel Kinnaman, right, plays Erik Heller, a CIA agent who has raised Hanna in the remote woods somewhere in Eastern Europe. Jonathan Prime/Amazon Studios Adapted from the cult-favourite movie of the same title – which I haven’t seen, like most viewers of this series – it reunites Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos, who had such powerful chemistry in the AMC version of The Killing. On that, they were partners, and here they are sworn enemies. Kinnaman plays Erik Heller, a CIA agent of some type who, in the early going, rescues a baby from a dubious-looking hospital and runs away with her. First, the woman who might be the baby’s mother is shot. Next, Erik is raising the baby, Hanna, in the remote woods somewhere in Eastern Europe. He raises and trains her to survive danger and to kill. The reason, he tells her, is that a certain woman killed her mother and is, inevitably, going to come looking for her. That’s the rogue and ruthless CIA agent Marissa Wiegler (Enos). One thing leads to another in the woods. And the thing that leads to everything is Hanna meeting a boy her own age and, thus, all manner of feelings and curiosities are released. Next thing, she’s hunted and captured but escapes, and then she and her dad, separately and together, play a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with Wiegler. What separates the story from an all-action thriller about a teen assassin is Hanna’s encounter with the typically rebellious, endlessly peeved teenager Sophie (Rhianne Barreto), who is on holidays with her family and bored out of her mind. The scenes in which Hanna learns awkwardly to be a normal teen, with Sophie’s support, are both hilarious and touching. The thing is, those scenes might as well be in a different series. This is where Hanna wobbles terribly as a narrative. There’s a sophisticated, rueful quality to the coming-of-age material and then, soon after, the action sequences are all cliché and stereotypical. A vast amount of money was spent on making the show and that’s obvious in one visually stunning scene after another. Not enough effort was put into streamlining the narrative into a potent whole of storytelling. Yet, that’s not what matters about Hanna. Amazon Prime Video is promoting it like mad because Hanna, the character, is less a fictional person to compel viewers than she is a transcendent image that is meant to be empowering. (There’s an interesting coincidence going on right now, by the way: Creed-Miles, who plays Hannah, is the daughter of Samantha Morton, who is currently playing Alpha, the most ferocious female avenger on The Walking Dead.) As such, Hanna has huge potential as an audience-draw.
