Jennifer Lawrence Explains her Character in Red Sparrow #book2movies

Jennifer Lawrence, stars in Red Sparrow as the Russian ballerina Dominika Egorova, recruited to the Russian Intelligance service ‘Sparrow School’ where she is forced to use her body to seduce enemy agents. Her first mission, targeting a CIA agent (Joel Edgerton), could upend security and do real damage to both their countries.

All you J-Law fans out there should enjoy the actor talking about the character Domenika in her own words in the video below.

“She's forced into a program against her will and trained in espionage,’’ the Oscar-winning actress explains. “She turns the tables, her mind is fascinating.”

She continues: “She's ten steps ahead of everybody who’s trying to use her.’’

Red Sparrow is based on the novel of the same name, the first in a trilogy by Jason Matthews.  As Emily notes in the comment section below, the author is well worth reading.

Red Sparrow, directed by The Hunger Games Francis Lawrence, opens on 1 March. I’m not usually a J-Law fan but I’m actually getting excited about this one.
