Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield star as televangelists in the new trailer for The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

By the end of the clip, Jessica looks almost unrecognizable as infamous televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, who rose to fame the 1970s and 80s in the for the religious broadcasting network she built with her husband Jim Bakker.

As the film’s plot summary says, “Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.”

Nearly two years after the project was first announced, there’s an update on Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain‘s upcoming movie The Division!

The film will be an adaptation of the popular video game and Netflix has the rights to the project after winning a bidding war back in 2019.

Red Notice director Rawson Thurber was just announced as the film’s director after David Leitch had to step down due his busy schedule, which includes his current film Bullet Train.

David will remain on the project as a producer. Rawson will co-write the script with Ellen Shanman.

Deadline reports that the “story is set in the near future with a virus spread via paper money on Black Friday, decimating the city of New York and killing millions. By Christmas, what’s left of society has descended into chaos. A group of civilians, trained to operate in catastrophic times, are activated in an attempt to save who and what remains.”

Jessica Chastain is opening up about how she’s more than just an actress in her upcoming movie, The 355.

The 43-year-old actress and her co-stars – including Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Marion Cotillard, and Fan Bingbing – will actually own the movie.

Jessica had a plan for the actors of the film to be paid equally and share in the film’s profits.

“A lot of times, our names are used to sell movies, and that’s how the money is raised for them,” Jessica explained to Shape magazine in her cover story. “So I thought, If our names are being sold, then we need to be the owners of the film.”

She continued, saying that she spoke to her co-stars and told them “if you do this movie, you’re going to have to agree to sell it, because you will be an owner. We’re going to sell the distribution rights to raise the budget for the film, and then everyone owns a portion of the box office.”

“I don’t know if anything like this has been done before, and honestly, I’m a bit shocked I got away with it,” Jessica shared. “But hopefully it creates a new model in which artists can own their work.”

This isn’t the first time Jessica has been an advocate for equal pay. It first came to light when she fought for Octavia Spencer to get five times the pay she signed on for in a movie they had done together.

“When it comes to fighting for pay equality, I would rather just do it and not talk about it. I think it’s actually more powerful if I don’t have to explain it,” she says.

Lupita Nyong’o and Jessica Chastain‘s upcoming movie together, The 355, has been moved back on the release schedule.

Variety is reporting that the female-led heist thriller, will now be opening in 2022, versus the January 2021 release it had planned.

Here’s The 355 plot summary: When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, a wild card CIA agent joins forces with three international agents on a lethal mission to retrieve it, while staying a step ahead of a mysterious woman who’s tracking their every move.

The movie will also star Diane Kruger, Penelope Cruz, Fan Bingbing, Edgar Ramirez and Sebastian Stan, with Simon Kinberg directing.

Universal Studios has also delayed a few other of their movies for release, including Marry Me with Jennifer Lopez, as the number of cases of coronavirus keeps rising in the United States.

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain will be reuniting on screen!

The award-winning actresses will be starring in the upcoming movie Mothers’ Instinct, according to Deadline. They previously worked together on the 2014 Christopher Nolan movie Interstellar.

Mothers’ Instinct is a psychological thriller that takes place in the 1960s. It ” will follow best friends and neighbors Alice (Chastain) and Celine (Hathaway) who both live an idyllic traditional lifestyle with manicured lawns, successful husbands and sons of the same age. Life’s perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident. Guilt, suspicion and paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond and a psychological battle of wills begins as the maternal instinct reveals its darker side.”

The movie is a remake of the 2018 Belgian movie Duelles, which was directed by Olivier Masset-Depasse. He will also direct the English-language version.

Jessica is producing the movie through her company Freckle Films.

Olivier said in a statement, “It takes actors of Jessica and Anne’s caliber to communicate the intricacy of these two roles. The relationship between a mother and child is the most powerful connection between two human beings. When this bond is severed, it calls into question conventional morality and even sanity. In the behind-closed-doors atmosphere of 1960’s America, Mothers’ Instinct becomes a terrifying, high-pressure powder keg.”

In a new interview, Anne talked about the roles that she wishes she had played.

Jessica Chastain will be reteaming with longtime friend Oscar Isaac in the upcoming HBO limited series Scenes from a Marriage!

The Oscar-nominated actress is replacing fellow Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, who had to drop out of the project due to “scheduling issues,” according to Deadline.

Jessica and Oscar were actually classmates at Julliard and they worked together on the 2014 movie A Most Violent Year.

Scenes from a Marriage is an adaptation of a 1973 Swedish miniseries from Ingmar Bergman. The new series, which will be written and directed by The Affair co-creator Hagai Levi, “re-examines the show’s iconic depiction of love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.”

Jessica will also be an executive producer on the project, which will begin shooting soon.

The trailer for one of Jessica‘s very exciting upcoming movies was released earlier this month.

Jessica Chastain is speaking out to defend the casting of Penelope Cruz as a Colombian spy in their new movie The 355.

Variety published an article in which the film was called out for casting a Spanish actress in the role of a Latina woman as they are not the same.

“She’s cast in a role that makes it seem clear that executives and agents put no effort into scouring the world to find a more appropriate choice, or to be even more daring, an actual Colombian actress to play Graciela,” the author of the article wrote.

Jessica, who is also a producer on the movie, released a statement to the outlet in which she explained that the role was originally conceived as being Brazilian, but Penelope did not feel comfortable playing a character from Brazil.
