Set Photos From Geoffrey Fletcher’s ‘Violet & Daisy’ Starring Saoirse Ronan & Alexis Bledel Unveils Casting Of Danny Trejo

Here’s our first look at Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel from ‘Precious’ scribe Geoffrey Fletcher’s currently-in-production teenage assassin flick “Violet & Daisy.”

Also featured in the picture is Danny Trejo, in what seemingly serves as the first unveiling of the “Machete” actor as a cast member for this particular pic. James Gandolfini was previously revealed as a cast member for the self-described “Thelma & Louise” meets “Superbad” meets “Pulp Fiction” story of two teenage assassins who discover that their last job is not exactly what they expected.

Ronan and Bledel obviously play the leading duo with their 13 year age difference barely noticable, for the most part, on account of the age-defying Bledel. Shooting is taking place in and around New York with Fletcher, Bonnie Timmermann, John Penotti of Magic Violet/GreeneStreet Films and Steve Kempf producing.Ronan’s other teenage assassin film, meanwhile, Joe Wright’s “Hanna,” has been confirmed for an appearance at next weekend’s New York Comic Con where the first footage will be shown hopefully with a relatively simultaneous online release.
Starring Ronan along with Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett, the film follows a teenage assassin as she journeys across Europe after being sent on a mission by her father, while eluding enemy agents. Our script review described it as a “super taut, on-the-run thriller that not only has adrenaline and a quickened pulse but a heart and soul as well.” It’ll hit theaters on April 8th 2011 after shooting throughout Europe earlier this year — we can’t wait.
