I came across some gorgeous new images of Jessica’s Yves Saint Lauren campaign for Manifesto, and you can find it in our gallery. They’re completely stunning!
Certainly the most secretive mainstream film of the year is Kathryn Bigelow‘s Zero Dark Thirty. With a closed set and a pre-production process that reportedly worked heavily with the US government, the director’s follow-up to the multiple Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker follows the Navy SEAL Team 6 that hunted down Osama bin Laden.
We’ve got the first trailer for the film today, which teases from the very start with blacked out studio logos. We’re then given a few glimpses of scenes, seemingly following in the same style of The Hurt Locker — mixed with a map overview of suspects and other information. There’s not a lot to go on, but here’s hopeing Bigelow has created another nail-biter as she tells these recent true events.
Check out below via Entertainment Weekly for the film featuring one of the best ensembles of the year, including Joel Edgerton, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Édgar Ramírez, Mark Strong, Nash Edgerton, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Ehle, Harold Perrineau, Frank Grillo and Mark Duplass. Also make sure to head to their site for much more information.
Thanks thefilmstage.com for the heads up!
Two new promotional still and the two final posters (for the USA and UK) of “Lawless” were released earlier this week. Be sure to check them all out in our gallery.
Vanity Fair released a preview of Jessica’s editorial and interview of their upcoming September issue.
“I’m the unknown everyone’s already sick of,” Jessica Chastain insists, the self-effacing actress telling Vanity Fair contributing editor Evgenia Peretz about her near-crippling insecurity and sensitivity in September’s issue?. Even after starring in six films in the past year, Chastain seems not to grasp the fact that she’s made it big: “I have a feeling that very soon I’m going to fail very, very big. I’m going to try something and everybody’s going to be like, ‘What was she thinking?’” Chastain says to Peretz.
Chastain—named to this year’s International Best-Dressed List for her clean, classic style—freely admits that she cries constantly, often for no real reason. Telling Peretz about crying when a security guard yelled at her for coming in through the wrong entrance at Manhattan’s Crosby Street Hotel earlier that day, she begins to well up again: “Even just talking about it now . . . I really get affected by things.” This is typical of Chastain: at her first red-carpet appearance at Cannes, last year for Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, she says she was plagued with a nagging worry: “Will someone be mean to me?” Because of all the potential for meanness, “I don’t want people to look at me,” Chastain confesses to Peretz, which she acknowledges sounds strange coming from an actress. “I’ve spent my life being embarrassed,” she adds.
But Chastain is the queen of using her self-doubt as fuel. For her upcoming role in the Broadway revival of The Heiress, Chastain has been driving herself crazy thinking about how to nail Catherine Sloper’s character: “I haven’t been this unsure in a long time. I don’t feel like ‘Oh yeah, I’m going to nail this.’ I feel really, really terrified.” But ultimately Chastain understands that the anxiety means something important. She sums up her artistic credo: “Maybe if you’re afraid of it, you should look more into it.
Jessica is featured on the July 19-25 issue of Paris Match magazine, featuring promotional pictures for “Manifesto”. Check it:
A new “Lawless” promotional image has been released today featuring Jessica:
Also, after a new UK quad poster surfaced for the film last week, Metropolitan Filmexport have released a rather fantastic new French poster that keeps the grey/blue sky feel of last week’s, and the all-round general awesomeness of Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, and Jessica Chastain. You can find it in our gallery.
Lawless will be released by The Weinstein Company in the US on 29th August, before coming to UK shores on 7th September.
