Our gallery was updated with several new prodution stills of Molly’s Game, alongside behind-the-scenes images and a killer French poster.

At the SCAD Film Festival over the weekend, Aaron Sorkin, director of the upcoming drama Molly’s Game, revealed that Chastain and Elba had no time to rehearse for the movie due to budget and time constraints.

“We shot the movie in 49 days: Monday through Fridays. “When the movie really needed 60. So you have to get creative, you don’t have as much rehearsal as you’d like. And, with the scenes between Jessica and Idris in those offices—which are seven, eight, nine page scenes with dense language—the most important element there is rehearsal.”

Molly’s Game was supposted to open this Thanksgiving, but its release date was moved to a limited release on Christmas Day (December 25). Originally the STX Entertainment release was expected to go wide on Nov. 22, but it will now be teed up during the year-end holidays to spur word of mouth in the heat of the awards season. STX will then take Molly’s Game wide on January 5. It’s an ideal plan for a potential awards contender that has plenty of heat on it.

Earlier today Jessica was part of Produced By Conference that’s being held in New York. She participated of The Power To Shake It Up panel, alongside actresses Sarah Jessica Parker, Alison Benson and her Freckles Film partner Kelly Charmichael.

It’s no longer “business as usual” in the entertainment industry. For too long, studios and financiers have undervalued stories by and about women. But in development and on set, producers are taking control, creating a space for fresh voices to tell stories that audiences haven’t heard before. This session provides a platform to producers and their teams that are actively creating opportunities for women in all aspects of production and challenging the status quo head-on.

The panel was sponsored by Deadline, that published some insights on the 75-minutes panel.

According to the site, Jessica gave the tone on the panel.

Jessica Chastain said that while men need to own their part of the injustice, “We need to put ourselves forward.” Offering the caveat that her comments “might be controversial,” Chastain said, “There’s something that women can do. … We need to stop apologizing.” Citing data that show how much more likely men are to push their own career cause than are women, she said, “In any industry, a woman should feel confident.”

The Hollywood Reporter also covered bits of the event.

While many of the women on the panel have crossed paths with Harvey Weinstein and Chastain has frequently spoken out against the disgraced mogul over the past three weeks, the talk largely avoided the topic of sexual harassment and assault in Hollywood. Still, Chastain began her remarks about her work as a producer by saying that she started her company, Freckle Films, because she felt like she was part of a problematic industry.

“Sometimes I think with anything that’s happening, we don’t acknowledge the fact that we’re complicit in our inaction—that goes across many areas,” Chastain said.

And she argued that she and her fellow producers needed to dig deep to find ways to move beyond the status quo for hiring directors, writers and below the line talent in Hollywood in order to increase the representation of women in those positions.

For instance, she argued, “If we’re asking for a list of directors and a list of writers from an agency, in most cases you get a list and it’s all men and you have to kind of go beyond that. … Men traditionally are paid more than women, and agents make more money when someone that has a higher quote gets a job. So we need to go beyond what the agents submit and find the artists because they are out there.”

The twitter user ZebsNYC shared a video made during the panel as well:

Jessica and Gian Luca attended this Thursday night in Milan a private dinner to celebrate the opening of Moncler store. The pictures was shared by Vogue Italy.

Last night Via Montenapoleone became a real white carpet. On the occasion of the opening of the new Moncler store, Milan’s main shopping street was literally covered with artificial snow where, in front of a crowd of curious people, they became immortalized by the actors and VIPs ever-present paparazzi. “Renovated flagship store in Via Montenapoleone,” said Remo Ruffini, President and CEO of the brand, “represents today Moncler’s largest single-brand boutique in the world and underlines the constant commitment of the brand to the city of Milan as well as add an important part in terms of presence on the Italian market “.

The new Moncler flagship store at No. 1 Via Montenapoleone, is the result of the creativity of the Gilles & Boissier studio and combines rationalism and classicism of the 1940s with the typical French boiserie. The entire store, which boasts 4 floors, is crossed by a helix scale that becomes the true trade union between the different Moncler worlds.

To celebrate the opening of the new flagship, Remo Ruffini wanted to reunite celebrities and brand friends like Arizona Muse, actresses Jessica Castain and Isabella Ferrari, fashion director of Italy Emanuele Farneti and designers Peter Dundas and Eva Cavalli.
