Last January 19 Jessica did an interview at Studio Q, on CBC Radio, to promote her new movie Coriolanus. You can listen the whole episode just going to Q official website, and click at January 19 episode. On this video excerpt, Jessica and Jian reflect over Jessica’s very big year in 2011 with roles in films like “The Help”, “Tree of Life”, “Coriolanus”, and “The Debt”, and the impact it’s had on her life:
First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of updates when so many things are happening with Jessica. I had a little computer issue and was impossible to update the site. Now everything is back to normal and updates are resuming now.
To start, screencaptures of Jessica’s appearance at David Letterman last January 17th has been added to our gallery. Check it:
Jessica keeps busy at Toronto festival, and today she just attended the “Coriolanus” Photocall, alongside co-stars Gerrard Butler and Ralph Fiennes. You’ll find some pictures in our gallery, plus some pictures of a Sony Pictures events she attended last night.
When Jessica Chastain left her theater training at Juilliard and started landing movie roles, she got a gift. None of the movies came out right away. It took a while before anyone saw her work in Al Pacino’s Wilde Salome (which finally debuts in Venice), or Terrence Malick’s mystical The Tree of Life (which Fox Searchlight premiered in Cannes before a summer opening), or John Madden’s Mossad thriller The Debt, which post-Disney Miramax finally sold to distributor Focus Features (August 31).
The delayed openings meant that Chastain remained a hot actress—and a blank slate. Nobody projected her last movie onto what they thought she could do. So she was able to be a chameleon, playing a dramatic actress, a sweetly luminous idealized 50s mother, and a tough-as-nails assassin. She also earned raves as brassy southern blonde Celia in summer lit hit The Help, and starred opposite Michael Shannon as his wife in the ominously atmospheric drama Take Shelter, which played Sundance and Cannes, and will show on the fest circuit before Sony Pictures Classics opens it September 30. Ralph Fiennes also cast her as his wife in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, where she stood her ground against both him and the magnificent Vanessa Redgrave as her mother-in-law. Weinstein Co. picked up the film after it earned raves in Berlin; it will play Toronto before its December release. And Chastain also landed a spot in another fall fest film, Texas Killing Fields, as well as TWC’s upcoming period gangster ensemble Wettest County. We talk about all these films below.
We now have our first trailer from CC2K via First Showing and it looks like a bold, action-filled effort for a debut film. The cast he assembled is excellent, and makes one of eight 2011 films for Jessica Chastain. Check it:
