Ex CIA writer on the making of Red Sparrow the movie…
"You wrote these novels and then this film got developed at a time when Americans probably weren't thinking as much about the Russians. Here we are in 2018 and the Russians are at the front of everyone’s mind again."
"I wake up every morning and I thank Vladimir Putin for providing endless content for books and movies. He's doing a great job as a PR director for us."
