There are rumors there is a new trailer out soon, and the Daily Mail has pictures.... I don't know if these are from the trailer, but why would they be first with them?

Need to hear her accent. I want a full on thick Russian accent.

[Valonqar]

I'm super hyped for this and hope it's great. R rated spy movie is what we need.

as for 'why would they be first with them' - cause they do get some exclusives from the studios like EW etc too. Shitty choice of outlet for Fox UK I know, but at least the guy who wrote the article (Baz) he's the  guy when it comes to Bond scoops and the saving grace of that pile of trash that is the Daily Mail.

Well, that's good then. I had no idea the Daily Mail had people like that.

From what I have heard, it is distinctly there, but not thick. She is supposed to be a spy after all, and good at what she does.

Dominika never tried to hide the fact that she's Russian.

Francis Lawrence said he decided to go with a light Russian accent. A good light accent is preferable for clarity. Anyway, if they wanted to make a realistic version then the Russians in the movie, and there are a lot of them, would all be speaking Russian to each other with subtitles.

No, but if you speak a language well, it includes a fairly good accent, so it would be a Russian who was fully English fluent.  Still with a noticable accent, though.

When they greenit this, they probably had no idea that Current Day Russian Espionage would become such a hot button issue....

I would love to see that.

Hunt For Red October did the Russian to English transition best. The Russian characters all spoke Russian, then a character reached a word that is the same in both English and Russian, at which point all the Russians spoke in English. Neat little zoom-in/zoom-out camerawork to sell it.

if you open it in google chrome it will translate for you. WARNING - the very end of the article has an early in the story spoiler.  It is a fairly lengthy interview with Francis Lawrence It has mostly the same pictures as the daily mail one, with this:

Quote

'Red Sparrow' (March 2)

Jennifer Lawrence stars in the spy thriller as Russian intelligence operative Dominika Egorova, who fosters a complicated relationship with a CIA agent (Joel Edgerton). But unlike, say, James Bond, Dominika gets pulled into this world against her will: The former prima ballerina suffers an injury, becomes the newest recruit to Sparrow School, and is trained to be a deadly seductress. “I’m attracted to lonely, isolated characters on lonely, isolated journeys,” says director Francis Lawrence, who also helmed three of Lawrence's four Hunger Games films. “But I also really like when characters are in a dilemma where the audience can sit back and imagine being in the situation themselves. There are elements of her story that allow us into the spy world in a more personal way and not a political way.” That emotional pull differentiates Red Sparrow, as does its tonal qualities: “It’s a bit audacious, a little perverse, a little scary (and) very tense.”

so what are people predicting for this? At first i thought UNDER 100M was a given, but girl power movies are all the rage now. even Atomic Blonde made 51M

 

I think it can make 100M

30/115 is my prediction right now. Alpha moving will definitely help get it extra screens on OW

I checked out the book from the library yesterday and will be reading it soon. A lot of people say the story is strong, so hopefully it's a good read.

It is hard to imagine doing as much as Salt (that was made to be a movie with an interesting storytelling device, it had an over 125m net budget, 105m in marketing, peak Jolie making 40-50m by movie, PG-13), that made 118m.

 

I can see something between Atomic Blonde 51m and Salt 118m (the average would be 85m), 23-24m OW, 85m dbo / 240m WW seem a likely target,

Salt came out a while ago tho. it adjusts to 133M .  i definitely think 100M is possible for Red sparrow.
