Dear lord…

Jessica Chastain strips down the January 2013 issue of GQ UK Mag. Despite sizzling in the GQ shoot in leopard print underwear – and no underwear – Jessica said that British people seem to have a major problem with redheads.

You Brits are usually so mean to your redheads. Why is that? In America it’s seen as a good thing. Look at Julia Roberts – she’s cool, right? I was working in Thailand and I’d be walking down the street and people – British people – would stop the car and scream, “ginger!” at me.’

Next up for Jessica is the release of the highly anticipated Zero Dark Thirty where she stars as a desperate CIA agent hunting for Osama Bin Laden. (In cinemas Jan 25th 2013)

I have added screen captures of Jessica’s part in “Lawless”, the acclaimed film from director John Hillcoat. I have to say that I LOVE this movie, and it’s becoming difficult to pick a single Jessica performance to be my favorite. She’s impeccable as Maggie and her on-screen chemistry with Tom Hardy makes it even better. Be sure to pick your own copy, since Lawless is out today in DVD/Blu-Ray and Combo Pack!

No “official” picture of this event was released so far, but thanks to Variety’s Jon Weisman we’re able to see how pretty Jess was last night.

Jon was also nice to share his thoughts on Zero Dark Thirty, you can read an exceprt below:

Though the film is “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” challenging at times in the first act, with names of key targets flying by, “Zero” soon settles into a riveting tale. Almost all major awards are in play: picture, director, original screenplay and lead actress, not to mention supporting actor (Jason Clarke) and supporting actress (Jennifer Ehle).

With almost no backstory off of which to work, Chastain nevertheless gives a dynamic, layered, feisty performance that is the film’s backbone as it traverses time and geography from the 9/11 attacks to the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden. For all the pundit love that Jennifer Lawrence has received for “Silver Linings Playbook,” Chastain’s is a more heavyweight piece of work.

On one end of the Sony Pictures Entertainment lot here is a three-story rainbow: a new work of public art that seems to sprout from the Thalberg executive building and convey the magic of the made-up world of the movies.

Across the lot is art of another kind: a towering black billboard announcing the bleak arrival of “Zero Dark Thirty,” a movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden that is replete with jarringly gruesome scenes of torture as Central Intelligence Agency officers seek information.

To join the grit of history with the glow of narrative film was the task Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal set out to accomplish with “Zero Dark Thirty.” It is among Hollywood’s most challenging films since “The Hurt Locker,” the brutal Iraq war drama that Ms. Bigelow directed and Mr. Boal wrote and that won the best-picture Oscar from “Avatar” in 2010. (The film also won Oscars for directing and writing.)

The new movie is not for the faint of heart or for those expecting typical Hollywood fare. Whether “Zero Dark Thirty” succeeds may depend on the willingness of audience members (and awards voters) to relive difficult events in a drama that Ms. Bigelow and Mr. Boal insist should honor the facts and protect sources, even if that means giving less attention to cinematic conventions like a love interest, comic twists (à la “Argo”) or characters’ back stories.
