Some of the movies which influenced our opening ssequence

Except true stories of females being agent or spies we have been also influenced by different movies where the main hero was female and she was playing a spy, killer, assassin or agent.

Here are some movies which influenced us having a female agent in or opening sequence:


As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who Is Salt?"


John and Jane Smith are a normal married couple, living a normal life in a normal suburb, working normal jobs...well, if you can call secretly being assassins "normal". But neither Jane nor John knows about their spouse's secret, until they are surprised to find each other as targets! But on their quest to kill each other, they learn a lot more about each other than they ever did in five (or six) years of marriage.



A devastating betrayal sends James Bond from Australia to Italy and South America on a mission of vengeance that pits the suave super-spy against a powerful businessman with diabolical intentions. Betrayed by Vesper, 007 (Daniel Craig) suppresses the urge to make his latest mission personal as he teams with M (Judi Dench) to interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen). It soon becomes apparent that the organisation behind the blackmailing of Vesper is more powerful than Bond and M had previously anticipated, and after discovering forensic evidence that links an MI6 traitor to a bank in Haiti, Bond immediately sets out to gather more intelligence. Once in Haiti, a case of mistaken identity leads Bond into the company of the ravishing Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a dangerous beauty with her own vendetta. It's Camille who leads Bond to a ruthless businessman named Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), who is soon revealed to be the mastermind of a powerful but clandestine organisation. Greene is conspiring to corner the market on one of the world's most precious natural resources, and in order to make that happen he has forged a deal with an exiled general named Medrano (Joaquin Cosio)



Hardened criminal Maggie Hayward's consistence violence, even in police custody, ends in the execution chamber. However, top-secret US government agency official 'Bob' arranges a staged death, so she can be elaborately trained as phantom killer and subdued into obedience. As a cover, she gets a new identity as saleswoman Claudia Anne Doran. And a wonderful house-mate, building super J.P., a broad-minded, gentle photographer. The two fall in love, but that complicates hit jobs. His good influence extends to breeding her a conscience that puts love over business, alas unlike Bob's agency





David Kirmani,a medical professional, lives in an apartment with his sweetheart, Erica Bain, a radio host, and his dog. They usually take the dog out for a stroll in nearby Central Park and let him run and fetch. One day while at the park they let the dog run without a leash, and when he does not return or respond to their calls, they frantically search for him. They eventually find him being held by three men who want a reward. When David refuses, they start to molest Erica and David intervenes. Two of the men assault the couple, while the third uses a camcorder to film this incident. Erica is knocked unconscious, and regains her senses several days later in a hospital. She is told the shocking news that David was killed and the dog is missing. A traumatised Erica returns home to try and regain her life. She also visits the police station but does not get much help. Fearful of a repeat of this type of incident, she gets an unlicensed gun and carries it with her all the time.














Israel female super-spies


Meet the Israeli female super-spies who FLIRT their way into deciphering enemy secrets

When most people think of international spies, they probably imagine hyper-masculine figures such as James Bond or Jason Bourne.
But Israel's fearsome secret service has developed a new breed of super-spy - seductive young women.
And the highly trained agents say that 'any means is valid' when it comes to deploying their feminine wiles - though they would draw the line at sleeping with the enemy.

Deadly: Israel is deploying female spies to seduce the enemy into handing over secret information (picture posed by model)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The world has never previously heard from the female spies of the Mossad, who have been crucial to some of the agency's greatest triumphs.
But now five of them have spoken out for the first time, telling Israeli magazine Lady Globes about their extraordinary lifestyle which makes them feel as if they are 'living in a movie'.
The most notable deployment of the women's unique talents came in 1986, when one agent seduced a turncoat former nuclear engineer and lured him into a trap so he could be taken back to Israel.
A current agent calling herself Yael tells the magazine that women often had an advantage over men, as they were more likely to be trusted by strangers.
'A man who wants to gain access to a forbidden area has less chance of being allowed in,' she says. 'A smiling woman has a bigger chance of success."



Example: In Russia, bungling agent Anna Chapman led the way for women
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another spy, Efrat, echoes the sentiment, saying: 'We use our femininity because any means is valid.'

But she adds that there are things she and her comrades would not do: 'Even if we think that the way to advance the mission is to sleep with Ahmadinejad's chief of staff, no one in the Mossad would allow us to do it.
'Women agents are not used for sexual purposes. We flirt, but the line is drawn at sex.'
However, not all their work is glamorous, as 38-year-old Ella explains to Lady Globes.
'I leave a secure home, my husband and three small children sleeping safely in their beds with tears welling in my eyes and a growing lump in my throat,' she says.
Mossad chief Tamir Pardo told the magazine that around half of the agency's spies are women, and said that the fairer sex has some distinct advantages over male agents.
'Women have a distinct advantage in secret warfare because of their ability to multitask,' he said.
'Contrary to stereotypes, you see that women's abilities are superior to men in terms of understanding the territory, reading situations, spatial awareness. When they're good, they're very good.'

Nowdays there is a huge increase of females getting involved into government policies, becoming spies and important figures. Females are getting more power, escaping from the old traditions where they had to sit the whole day in the house and look after children and housecare. They have more freedom now and availability to show themself to the world. In most of the modern movies of 21st century, which has a genre of thriller/action, like James Bond and Born movies, there is always women involved playing a significantly important role. So this idea of women being involved to everything also influenced us to have our female actor playing the spy in the opening sequence of our movie.












Anna Chapman- The Russian spy

Russian agent Anna Chapman 'came close to catching top Obama official in a honey trap,' FBI counters intelligence chief claims

Sexpot spy Anna Chapman came close to snaring a member of President Obama's inner circle in a honey trap, a top U.S. intelligence official has claimed.
In a documentary broadcast last night, FBI counter-intelligence Chief Frank Figliuzzi claimed the glamorous Russian agent got close enough to 'disturb' U.S. spy catchers.




He said the fear that Miss Chapman was close to seducing a sitting member of the Obama administration spurred agents to swoop on the 10-strong spy ring of which she was a part.
Mr Figliuzzi told the Channel 4 documentary the auburn-haired spy got 'closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership... she got close enough to disturb us.'
'We were becoming very concerned,' he said. 'They were getting close enough to a sitting US cabinet member that we thought we could no longer allow this to continue.'
The revelation that Miss Chapman, now 30, was getting close to the highest levels of U.S. government could spark a re-assessment of her espionage abilities.
It had been widely reported that she was ineffectual as a foreign intelligence agent and that neither she nor any of cell managed to find out anything that couldn't be discovered through a Google search.
Mr Figliuzzi did not disclose the identity of the official targeted by Miss Chapman.



Born Anna Vasil’yevna Kushchyenko, Miss Chapman adopted her Anglophone surname after marrying British former public schoolboy Alex Chapman - who she claims to have fallen for because he looked like Liam Gallagher.
Her intelligence career came to an abrupt in June 2010 when, along with her nine colleagues she was arrested in New York City an FBI counter-intelligence swoop.

Pretty: The revelation could spark a re-assessment of Chapman's espionage abilities - she had been said to be an ineffectual spy
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since her deportation back to her home country in July of that year - in a dramatic, Cold War-style prisoner swap - she has cultivated a kind of celebrity in keeping with the Putin-esque national cult of a young, strong Russia.
Last month she appeared on the catwalk at Russian Fashion Week in Moscow clothed in a skin-tight leather ensemble which would not look out of place in a James Bond film.
She was greeted by rapturous applause by fans who had gathered for the 9pm show for French label I Love Fashion.
While many of the other models wore feminine dresses Chapman modelled a studded leather jacket, skinny black jeans and towering stilettos from the autumn / winter collection.


We were thinking about should there be a female character at all in our movie, untill we didnt see news about this Russian spy Anna Chapman. Our decision was really influcneed by this person. A female spy character looks really cool in the movie. As we wanted to make our film look similar to James Bond series and Born's series we had to have a female character, who would be a spy, assasin or someone else. And we did, we made our female character in the opening sequence to be a spy.
