LA Times has more details on the plot of the still untitled Terrence Malick project with Rachel and Ben Affleck, in which Jessica co-star. Several distributors were interested in but Terrence Malick declined. The movie is expected to release in 2012. Be sure to read the article below:

But there’s a movie that will be ready before either of those, an untitled film (formerly called “The Burial”) starring Ben Affleck (who actually replaced Bale) that Malick shot right after he finished editing “The Tree of Life.” He’s tweaking the movie in the editing room now, and it’s expected to be finished by next year (though that doesn’t mean a distributor that buys it will bring out then).

The company selling rights to the movie, FilmNation, has been secretive, to say the least, about the details (think executives reading the script in locked offices, and the “Men in Black” amnesia-laser administered afterward). Malick’s been protective, too. Several U.S. distributors made offers just on the basis of the script and some footage, said a person familiar with negotiations. So far, he’s declined to sell it.

So what’s the movie really about?

There have been scattered reports about it, but according to a person who read the script, it’s a love triangle with an international subtext. It’s also the only film Malick has ever done that’s set in the same time as the period in which he’s making it.

Here’s the breakdown, with the caveat that things could change drastically from script to screen (on “Tree,” Malick would sometimes rewrite scenes on the day of the shoot).

Basically, it concerns a philanderer (Affleck) who, feeling at loose ends, travels to Paris, where he enters a hot-and-heavy affair with a European woman (Olga Kurylenko). Said Lothario returns home to Oklahoma, where he marries the European woman (in part for visa reasons). When the relationship founders, he rekindles a romance with a hometown girl (Rachel McAdams) with whom he’s had a long history.

According to the person who read the script, there’s a bit of a happier ending than some other Malick movies (or at least a less ambiguous one than at the end of “Tree”). And a person who saw the footage said there’s also the trademark visual showiness–shots of Affleck and McAdams in Malick’s trademark man-in-nature style–as well as intriguing supporting actors: Javier Bardem, for instance, plays a priest whom Affleck’s Lothario visits for advice.

I added the whole set of the photo shoot Jessica did to InStyle magazine back in September:

I added scans of November issue of Spanish magazine Mujer Hoy, that brings Jessica on cover with 4 more page spread. Also, scans of other international magazines from October/November.

Jessica graces the December issue of Asos magazine in a beautiful photoshoot done by Alex Sainsbury.
Check the behind-the-scenes video below, plus scans and screencaptures in the gallery:

Rolling Stone magazine has done a great interview with Jessica to spread on their November 10th issue.

“I’m not going to be the girl with the private yoga instructor at my house,” she says. “I don’t want anyone to think, ‘Oh, she’s famous, she’s different than me.’” Still, Chastain, who had a sturdy, down-to-earth upbringing in Northern California with four siblings, a vegan-chef mom and a firefighter dad, can’t deny her ubiquity: “I feel like I’m everywhere. But my personal life hasn’t changed. I think only three people have come up to me in the past six months. Which is too bad, because I love to meet people. I wouldn’t be mean to them.”
