Jennifer Lawrence Transforms into a Deadly Assassin in New Trailer RED SPARROW
20th Century Fox has released an intense full trailer for Jennifer Lawrence's upcoming Russian assassin spy thriller Red Sparrow. The new trailer is loaded with new footage, some of which shows some of the intense training that her character has to go through in the process of being transformed into a deadly killing machine. It also offers some new insight into the story.
A lot of people are talking about how much this movie reminds them of Black Widow's origin story. It's definitely not hard to see the similarities. We may not be getting a Black Widow film from Marvel anytime soon, but we are getting this and I think it looks really good. I've always enjoyed spy thrillers and I can't wait to check this one out.
The film is based on the book by Jason Matthews and here's the 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.
Red Sparrow was directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games) and it also stars Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons.
Red Sparrow hits theaters on March 2, 2018.
