The 20th Century Fox productionreunites the actresswithHunger game : Catching FireandMockingjaydirector Francis Lawrence . The script is by Justin Haythe ( A Cure for Wellness ) and Eric Warren Singer ( American Hustle).Rooney Mara and David Fincherwere at one point attach to the project .
When young ballerina Dominika Egorova ( Lawrence ) endure a career - ending wound , a misfortune that menace both her bread and butter and that of her mother , she finds herself pressured into join a secret Russian intelligence activity service that prepare talented young people to use their body and minds as deadly weapons .

The first trailer forRed Sparrowfrom 20th Century Fox ( see above ) places star Jennifer Lawrence front - and - center . We see Lawrence as a new danseuse in a glamorous red dress sitting alone on a bed look for something . Ominous voice - over enjoin us about the mystic Sparrow School program , where a scary - looking headmistress make for by Charlotte Rampling learn new people the skills they want to become spy , including the fine art of conquest .
An unmistakableAtomic Blondevibe come in over the cartridge clip as Lawrence dons a blond wig and sets about on her shady spy activities . The clip sets up the account compactly while holding back on spoiling any of the plot , giving us a healthy window pane of Lawrence in various guises . The undercover agent school bits have a littleHunger Gamestraining flavour , though the training undergone by the undercover agent inRed Sparrowis doubtless crueler than what the contestants inHunger Gameshad to endure ( Charlotte Rampling is about the last person you would want staring you down after you messed up in class ) .
With the release ofmother!this weekend , Jennifer Lawrence will attempt to bounce back at the box power after hermuddled sci - fi dramaPassengerstanked late last twelvemonth . Lawrence is certainly one of the main attractions ofmother!and is garner Oscar buzz for her performance , but with Darren Aronofsky in the director ’s electric chair there ’s a gumption that the movie is as much his show as it is hers . Red Sparrowwill be much more on Lawrence ’s shoulders and it will be interesting to see if her star power is hard enough to afford the picture .
Red Sparrowalso star Mary - Louise Parker , Matthias Schoenaearts , Jeremy Irons , Ciaran Hinds , Joely Richardson and Joel de la Fuente .
