Cate Blanchett hasn't been on screen since 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, but she'll be appearing in Robin Hood come May, Indian Summer in 2011, and The Hobbit in 2012. Her latest film is Hanna, another project with Joe Wright ( The Soloist, Atonement and Indian Summer), about to go into production.

Already signed on to the film are Saoirse Ronan ( The Lovely Bones, Atonement) and Eric Bana ( Star Trek, Munich). It's the story of a teen girl searching for her father, who taught her survival skills and how be a killer, as she attempts a more conventional life with a French family.
