She will be Princess Diana in a coming film. She has just been named by the New York Film Critics’ Circle as 2011’s Best Supporting Actress for her performances in not one, but three films: “The Help,” “The Tree of Life” and “Take Shelter.” Her name is likely to be heard at nominations announcements during this awards season. The Independent Spirit Award began the momentum by announcing her as a Best Supporting Actress nominee for “Take Shelter.”
Brad Pitt and Sean Penn held her hands on Cannes’ red carpet. She will costar with Tom Cruise in a sci-fi movie. Terrence Malick has cast her again in his next film, and she’ll be seen in several films by interesting directors.
“She” is Jessica Chastain, who gives credit to Al Pacino for all of these projects. Very fair, freckled and blessed with lovely green eyes, the actress has the kind of face that enables her to easily morph into different characters. Jessica as the social-climbing Celia Foote in “The Help” is completely different from her Texan wife and mother, Mrs. O’Brien, in “The Tree of Life,” which won the Palme d’Or in Cannes last May.

I have added two new promotional stills of Jessica on her new movie “Coriolanus”. The movie will hit theaters tomorrow, December 02, 2011.
I added 1087 high quality screen captures of Jessica as Rachel in the amazing movie “The Debt”. Check it:
Jessica Chastain enters a suite at London’s Dorchester Hotel, the clack of her beige heels announcing her arrival. She’s dressed in a black raincoat and a sleeveless mint-green dress that looks like it once belonged to Jackie Kennedy. Her skin is pale and freckled, her figure trim and slim and her eyes a rare green. But it’s her shoulder-length shock of red hair that knocks you sideways. “I grew up getting picked on in the schoolyard for being a redhead,” she says, without a trace of self-pity. Now it’s made her stand out from the crowd when it counts.
Along with Bryce Dallas Howard, her co-star in recent hit movie The Help, whom she is frequently mistaken for, it seems redheads are red-hot right now. “I think there’s always been time for redheads – Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett, Isabelle Huppert, Julianne Moore,” she says. “Someone told me something really interesting and I wonder if it’s true. They say that scientifically redheads need more anaesthesia at the dentist because we’re more sensitive to pain. And I was listening to this, thinking, ‘If we’re more sensitive to pain, does that mean we’re more sensitive emotionally?’”
Judging by her work so far – all class, no crass – that’s quite possible. Right now, she’s on the verge of becoming a household name. It’s our third encounter in five months – and the second in a fortnight – though our first in the UK. If anything, it’s testament to just how many films Chastain has stacked on top of one another, like planes circling Glasgow airport. With four landing since June, and another two on the way, there is little doubt that this has been, at long last, her year. Read More
Finally I managed to take high quality screen captures of Jessica part as the adorable Celia Foote in the acclaimed movie “The Help”. Check it:
The Help will be out in DVD/Blu-Ray in December 06th, remember to pre-order your copy.
