Jennifer Lawrence worked with director Francis Lawrence on Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Now they’re reteaming for something rather different, with Lawrence playing a Russian spy in Red Sparrow
Here’s the sysopsis: ‘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 out March 2018. [Read more…]

The latest trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 takes a look at the Everdeen sister, paying tribute to them and the fact that Katniss says that she’s doing it all for her sis, Prim.
It seems Jennifer Lawrence must have liked working with director Francis Lawrence on The Hunger Games sequels, as 
Youtube has revamped the look of their videos, although we’re presuming that wasn’t done in preparation for the release of the first full The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 Trailer. However the two have coincided, and you can take a look below.
