20th Century Fox
Jennifer Lawrence transforms into a deadly seductress and assassin for the upcoming movie “Red Sparrow.” The Hollywood actress becomes femme fatale Dominika Egorova, a former ballerina whose career-ending injury leads her to be recruited for Sparrow School, a training academy for assassins headed by the Russian government. There she is trained to “seduce and manipulate” by using their bodies and “to use everything.” Seducing men should be no problem for Jennifer Lawrence.
20th Century Fox provides a description of the movie:
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 premise and the trailer definitely has a “Black Widow” and/or “Atomic Blonde” feel to it. The film also stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Jeremy Irons, Ciaran Hinds and Joely Richardson. Jennifer Lawrence and “Red Sparrow” arrive in your local theater on March 2, 2018
