Up close with ‘Zero Dark Thirty’ Oscar favorite Jessica Chastain
Even now, Jessica Chastain can summon up Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s face. “KSM, Abu Faraj, all of them – they’re still there, in my head,” she says. It’s December morning, and the actor is recalling a technique she used to enter the obsessive brain of Maya, the CIA operative Chastain plays in Katheryn Bigelow’s Osama bin Laden thriller, Zero Dark Thirty: During shooting, Chastain hun “photocopied, grainy pictures” of Al Qaeda members on the walls of her hotel room, forcing herself to live with the faces the way her character does. “I approached it was ‘It takes a fantastic to catch a fantastic,’” she says.
Jessica is also featured on January issue of Elle France, and I have digital scans up in the gallery. I will try to bring you the article translated later, but I will need some help so if you want to help us with it, please, email me at luciana@jessica-chastain.com!

Chastain, 35, has racked up an impressive number of prizes for her portrayal of the humorless, laser-focused CIA operative Maya, representing, to Chastain, “the fanatical behavior to catch a fanatic,” in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. To date, she’s taken home best actress awards from the National Board of Review, the Broadcast Film Critics Association London Film Critics Circle, a Critics Choice award and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. She’s also nominated for a Screen Actors Guild award, a BAFTA and an Oscar.
“I think the X factor of the character that she plays in this movie is the drive and dedication and tenacity that was staggeringly effective,” says Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow, who partnered again with screenwriter Mark Boal after their last Oscar-winning film, The Hurt Locker. “It just is a testament to her range as an actor and an artist.”
The day after winner her first Golden Globe Jessia attended a Question and Ask session for “Zero Dark Thirty” at the ArcLight Theatre. Sorry for missing this before, but we now have the photos added in our gallery.
Jessica stopped by the Today Show yesterday morning to promote “Mama”. We added the photos of Jessica outside the studio and inside the studing during the interview in our gallery.
Update: I apologize for reporting that Jessica was on Good Morning America but she made an appearance on the Today Show.
