It’s not arriving in cinemas until next year, but hopes are high for Red Sparrow, a film that reunited Jennifer Lawrence with her Hunger Games director, Francis Lawrence.
It’s based on the book by Jason Matthews, and Lawrence co-stars in this one with Joel Edgerton. She plays Dominika, a woman forced to became a ‘sparrow’. A sparrow is a Russian secret service operative trained to seduce people to get information.
The first trailer and synopsis for the movie has now landed too, and you can see it right here…
Here’s the synopsis…
Dominika Egorova (Jennifer Lawrence) is drafted against her will to become a “sparrow,” a trained seductress in the Russian security service. Dominika learns to use her body as a weapon, but struggles to maintain her sense of self during the dehumanizing training process. Finding her power in an unfair system, she emerges as one of the program’s strongest assets. Her first target is Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), a CIA officer who handles the agency’s most sensitive infiltration of Russian intelligence. The two young operatives fall into a spiral of attraction and deception, which threatens their careers, allegiances and the security of both countries.
Based on the book by former CIA officer Jason Matthews, “Red Sparrow” reunites Jennifer Lawrence with her “Hunger Games” director, Francis Lawrence with Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Jeremy Irons, and Mary Louise Parker rounding out the cast.
The film is due in cinemas in March 2018.
