Actor Joel Kinnaman, who stars in series adaptation of Joe Wright's "Hanna", says the show will focus on the "grounded and a naturalistic version" of the story, which was not explored in the 2011 film.
The "Suicide Squad" star is playing Erik Heller, a former CIA operative who trains his daughter Hanna as an assassin to take on the people who are after their lives.
The Amazon Prime Video series has been created by David Farr, who had also written the film. In Wright's film, Eric Bana portrayed Heller while Oscar nominated actor Saoirse Ronan played the titular role.
"The film went into this fairytale-ish kind of storytelling. We wanted to tell a grounded and a naturalistic version of the story.
"My favourite thing in the plot was the initial part of the father-daughter relationship which forms the backbone of the first season arc here. Anyone who has seen the film will recognise it in the early parts and then they will be taken on a completely new journey with these characters. It's a great ride," Kinnaman told PTI in a telephonic interview from New York.
The 39-year-old actor said his take on the character is completely different from Bana's as he believes in giving his personal touch to the role.
"I don't think so much about his performance because I create my own. I think there is a vulnerability which is kind of built into the character and that was one of the things that I was drawn to."
