“The Lovely Bones” star Saoirse Ronan is in negotiations to star as the title character in Focus’s upcoming “Hanna,” a story about a teenage assassin.

The story follows a 14-year-old girl who has been brought up by her father in a CIA prison camp to be a cold-blooded ultimate killing machine. When she connects with a French family and forms a friendship with their teenage daughter, she finally begins to be human and a real teenager, but must fight for her freedom when her former handlers come looking for her.

Leslie Holleran, Scott Nemes, and Marty Adelstein are producing the project.
