After discussing a film idea for quite some time, actor Alec Baldwin and writer/director James Toback decided to go to the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and document their search for investors. During their time at Cannes, Baldwin and Toback interviewed many high-profile figures in the film industry.

In an interview to HBO, director James Toback told about how they approach the list appearing on the documentary:

I knew all the directors I approached. I was pretty friendly with a few of them. Alec wanted those particular directors. Ryan Gosling was his idea. I’ve known Jessica Chastain for several years, and she was my idea. I hadn’t thought about Diane Kruger before, but then we ran into her in the lobby of the Carlton Hotel [in Cannes, France].

Seduced and Abandoned premiered in the Special Screenings section of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2013. A week prior to its premiere at the festival, the North American rights to the film were acquired by HBO Films. It later aired on HBO on October 28, 2013 and was given a cinematic release in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2013.

You can find in our gallery screencaptures and posters of the documentary, and the trailer plus a compilation of Jessica’s appearances on our video archive.

The current issue of Total Film is dedicated to Sci-Fi movies and it has a quick look on Interstellar. Sadly there’s no much info different than we already saw (the article is based on the trailer), but let’s hope they do a huge coverage when the film is about to be released. They also interviewed Jessica while in Cannes about Eleanor Rigby and Interstellar, and they have a few quotes from her.

What attracted you to Eleanor Rigby?
I read the script and was very moved by it, and when Ned Benson asked me to play Eleanor, I said: ‘I’d like to know more about her, I think also we need something about the female perspective.” I much prefer the long version of it (Him & Her), but I prefer the long version of anything. In the US it’s going to be released both ways.

What can you say about Interstellar?
Christoper Nolan is brilliant. He’s like the captain of the ship. One thing I think people will be surprised about Interstellar is it’s more emotional than you would expect it to be. It’s very warm. I like the idea of people going in and having no idea what it’s about and hopefully being surprised, and moved.

Scans of People magazine digital issue has been added to the gallery. They have some gorgeous behind-the-scenes shots and Jessica’s is that one posted a few days ago, at the beach.

“I became an actress because I love movies,” said Chastain, star of the drama The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. She’s a festival darling not only for her performances but for her screening attendance record: “Any chance I get, I’m going into the theater.”

Jessica looked stunning earlier today, when arrived at the red carpet for amfAR’s 2014 Cinema Against AIDS Gala, in a black Givenchy dress with a stunning necklace by Tesiro. I have the first batch of pictures added, as you can see by following the previews below:
