Season 1 of HANNA to launch on Amazon Prime Video

Posted on by

Season 1 of HANNA will launch on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, March 29, 2019.

Starring Esmé Creed-Miles, Joel Kinnaman, Mireille Enos, the action drama web television series is an official selection at 2019 Berlin International Film Festival.

Based on the 2011 film, HANNA’s eight-episode first season was written and produced by David Farr (The Night Manager), who co-wrote the original feature. Director Sarah Adina Smith (Legion, Room 104) helmed episodes one and two of the series, which filmed entirely on-location in Hungary, Slovakia, Morocco, Spain and the U.K.

In her breakout role for television, British actress Esme Creed-Miles stars as Hanna alongside Joel Kinnaman (Altered Carbon, Suicide Squad, Robocop) and Mireille Enos (The Catch, Prime Video’s Good Omens), who reunite on-screen after co-starring in AMC’s Emmy-nominated crime drama The Killing.

Here’s the official synopsis for Hanna:
Raised in total seclusion in the remote woods of Eastern Europe, Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) has spent her entire young life training to fight those who hunt her and her mercenary father, Erik Heller (Joel Kinnaman). Her survivalist skills are finally tested when she and Erik are separated upon their discovery by a rogue CIA operative, Marissa Wiegler (Mireille Enos) and her team of agents. Hanna has no choice but to embark on a perilous journey alone across Europe as she seeks to reunite with her father and evade – and ultimately take down – the dangerous agents who target them. Hanna’s isolated upbringing offers particularly daunting physical and emotional challenges as she is forced to navigate an ever-deepening conspiracy – one that could be the undoing of both her and her father.

“White Chamber ” Release Date and Trailer Debut Announced

Posted on by

Dark Sky Films announces the releases date and trailer debut for “White Chamber”, which stars Shauna MacDonald and Oded Fehr Star.

The film is set for release in select theaters and on VOD on March 29, 2019

The United Kingdom in the near future. Civil war rages, and martial law has been declared by a military government hellbent on squashing the opposition. A woman (Scottish BAFTA nominee Shauna MacDonald, The Descent) wakes up in a blindingly white cuboid cell, where General Zakarian (Oded Fehr) uses increasingly sophisticated and cruel methods to torture her for information – information she claims not to have. As questions of trust are placed both on captor and captive, they find themselves embroiled in an increasingly spiraling journey into the nature of authority.

“White Chamber” poses the question: can there even be such a thing as certainty in these most uncertain of times?

Marvel Announces Star Wars Original Marvel Years #50 Facsimile

Posted on by

In celebration of Marvel’s 80th Anniversary, Marvel is releasing a special Facsimile edition of the 1977 STAR WARS #50. Coinciding directly with May’s upcoming STAR WARS #108 one-shot from Matthew Rosenberg and artists Giuseppe Camuncoli, Luke Ross, Kerry Gammill, Andrea Broccardo, this Facsimile features a full reprint of the issues’ classic story – ads and all – from writer Archie Williams and artists Al Williamson, Tom Palmer and Walter Simonson.

With new stories of original series characters such as Jaxxon, Amaiza, Domina Tagge, Valance the Hunter, and more, STAR WARS #108 acts as a direct sequel to Star Wars #50 – making this a truly epic 80th Anniversary celebration.

“So many true comic legends worked on those books- Archie Goodwin, Roy Thomas, Walt Simonson, Howard Chaykin, Al Williamson, David Michelinie, Klaus Janson, Jo Duffy, and so many more. It’s pretty overwhelming to think about, actually. What they made was the product of a very different time in comics, and it’s something modern audiences aren’t really accustomed to. So while it would be fun, if a little humbling, to try and just impersonate them, we wanted to do something a bit different, something that would appeal to classic and modern fans alike,” Matt Rosenberg told Comicbook.com of writing STAR WARS #108.
