Jennifer Lawrence Becomes a Deadly Russian Assassin in Trailer For RED SPARROW
20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for Jennifer Lawrence's new assassin spy thriller Red Sparrow. The film is based on the novel written by Jason Matthews and looks like it's going to be an amazing movie! I saw the first footage of the film earlier this year at CinemaCon and I loved what I saw. Today's trailer for the film just gives us a little taste of that, but it's definitely enough to spark your interest and get you excited.
The story follows a young promising ballerina who is injured. After the injury ends her career she is recruited into the Red Sparrow school where she is trained to be a deadly spy and assassin. This is going to be one hell of an intense movie!
Red Sparrow has a great cast that also includes Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons. Here's the full synopsis:
Dominika Egorova is many things. A devoted daughter determined to protect her mother at all costs. A prima ballerina whose ferocity has pushed her body and mind to the absolute limit. A master of seductive and manipulative combat.
When she suffers a career-ending injury, Dominika and her mother are facing a bleak and uncertain future. That is why she finds herself manipulated into becoming the newest recruit for Sparrow School, a secret intelligence service that trains exceptional young people like her to use their bodies and minds as weapons. After enduring the perverse and sadistic training process, she emerges as the most dangerous Sparrow the program has ever produced. Dominika must now reconcile the person she was with the power she now commands, with her own life and everyone she cares about at risk, including an American CIA agent who tries to convince her he is the only person she can trust.
The movie was directed by Francis Lawrence, who previously directed the final three Hunger Games movies. Red Sparrow arrives in theaters on March 2, 2018.
