Jennifer Lawrence has stumbled into a new role that looks anything but White Nude Taken Downclumsy, quirky and relatable -- think somewhere between Eyes Wide Shut, Black Swan,and The Americans.
20th Century Fox revealed its first look at Red Sparrowon Thursday at Cinemacon, the annual gathering of movie theater owners and Hollywood studios, and if sexual intensity is what you want, put down the Fifty Shades DarkerDVD and listen up.

From the first-look trailer we just saw in Las Vegas: Dominika Egorova (Lawrence) is a brilliant young ballerina who suffers a gnarly leg break. Her career as a dancer is clearly over -- but that's not what she was meant to do.
"I can make you special again," says her new custodian (Jeremy Irons). "From your previous career you understand ... discipline."
And she'll need it for what's in store: A training program for Russian spies, wherein young women are trained to ply their trade with intellect, deception, and sex. Lots of what appears to be very kinky sex.
"You will be trained to determine the target's weakness," she's told by her new coach (Charlotte Rampling) "and exploit that weakness through seduction."
In this case, it appears her target is Joel Edgerton, an American whom Lawrence first sees at the pool. You can be sure that this meet-cute was carefully planned.
And that's about all we know right now about Red Sparrow, which is due in theaters Nov. 10 -- just in time for awards season.
