Joe Wright, a British film director with Atonement and Pride and Prejudice under his belt, is to begin filming an action film called Hanna, starring Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana, in Kuusamo in northern Finland this week, the Finnish Film Foundation said in a statement Tuesday.

One lane of the highway between Kuusamo and Kemijärvi was closed on Tuesday.

The foundation added that the Finnish shoot would last five days.
