Red Sparrow (Jennifer Lawrence)

[Darepool]

Selling sex is one of the oldest professions in the world and always will be. It's certainly a staple of cinema (notice who they cast). Don't ruin our fun because of your hang-ups. Thank you.

Another big showcase for Jennifer Lawrence, this is a bit different for her though as usually her looks are downplayed in her roles, where as this is a very sexual character. The film looks like a lavish, oldschool style spy movie.

So they made Black Widow origin movie. It isnt part of MCU but this still is Black Widow movie for everyone who screamed to get made

This has nothing to do with Black Widow.

The premise of this intrigued me before the trailer came out. I also like Jlaw outside of the X-Men films, so I might watch this next year.

I like the look of the film. Also is this thing going to be Rated-R?

I saw the trailer in front of Kingsman today.
It looked pretty good but reminded me a lot of a TV movie from years ago (can't for the life of me recall the name, but I think it was from the 90's.)
A deep cover spy school for young beautiful Russian girls where they are trained in everything from hand to hand combat to seduction and to become completely Americanized.
In the TV movie one of the girls falls for a target and the last part is escaping to America.
Of course the trailer also reminded me somewhat of The Americans, like Keri Russell's character, but 15-20 years earlier.

Amazing how the brain works, out of the blue this morning the name of an obscure 30 year old movie just came to me.

The movie I was trying to think of was "Secret Weapons" from 1985 starring Linda Hamiltion and Geena Davis.

Yes

That is one heck of a swimsuit in the teaser...

The R- rated Black Widow film that will never happen.

I can definitely see why people are saying that!

This looks good to me from the little we've seen.

She's not my first choice but this is one of those times that Lawrence is of the right age for the character.

I like Jennifer Lawrence, but I do see this as suiting Scarlett Johansson more and not just because she plays the Black Widow. I find Lawrence and Johansson both hot as hell but I find that Johansson can turn on the 'bad girl' appeal more; Lawrence's appeal is to me a little more wholesome. That said, Lawrence does rock that dress she's (almost) wearing when she turns up at the mutant cage-fight in X-Men: Apocalypse, and...

That is one heck of a swimsuit in the teaser...

... My God, yes!

^ Not just that but if you watch Mother! there is this figure hugging almost see through nightgown she wears that will make you die hahaha.

I must say that the trailer intrigued me after I watched it again today. I was expecting more bang for the bucks moments earlier and it didn't really do that so I didn't like it that much. Watched it again and I think the trailer does a perfect job of selling the movie as it is, a methodical spy thriller with little action. Sets up the mood really well.

And now I need to see Mother!

The exclusive footage we viewed was basically a 20-minute montage that gave us a broad idea of what we could expect from the film. It was utterly captivating, tense, and tightly wound. We saw blood, sex, nudity, opulence . . . the list goes on. Without giving too much away, we thought we'd give you a taste of what we experienced, why we think it could be Lawrence's next iconic role, and what else stood out from the film.

1. The Content Is Very Much R-Rated

This isn't just going to be an R-rated film. It's deep in rated-R territory. In just the short amount of footage we saw, there was a rather bloody altercation (or two or three), a steamy sex scene, nudity, and more. Francis Lawrence made it clear after the presentation that this was his vision from the very beginning. He's going for the "hard R." He wanted to toe the line and represent all aspects of the story.

2. Jennifer Lawrence Is Brilliant

Are you getting the sense that we already love Lawrence in this? Everything, down to her accent, is remarkably controlled. It's hard to pull off a Russian accent without it sounding like a caricature. But it's more than that; as she has with other acclaimed roles, Lawrence seems to disappear into her character.

Director Lawrence revealed that she had gone through rigorous ballet training to perfect that aspect of her character's story. More viscerally, you can see her living some of the heavy, emotional experiences her character is having.

To nail her accent, Francis Lawrence explained that he had a woman with a light Russian accent record all of Lawrence's dialogue. She used the recordings during the memorization process.

3. The Supporting Cast Is Just as Dazzling

Lawrence has a lot of stellar talent supporting her in the film. The brilliant Oscar- and Emmy-nominated Charlotte Rampling is the headmistress who runs the Russian spy school. Joel Edgerton, who just earned a best actor nod for his work in Loving, stars opposite Lawrence as an American federal operative. Joely Richardson, whom you might best remember from Nip/Tuck, plays Lawrence's mother. And there's more: Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons are in the mix as well.

Spoiler

As an added bonus, accomplished ballet dancer Sergei Polunin also appears in the film!

She looks fierce. Hopefully it will be like Salt, not great but an enjoyable female led spy flick.

 

[David H.]

Heh, that’s the first time I’ve heard someone hope that a movie isn’t great.

 

[kevork89]

So hyped!!
