Jessica Chastain is coming for that Oscar















ZDT has a slight Homeland-y feel to it, no? And is that Henry Francis I spy in one of the stills?

she still baffles me. like no one knew her before 2011, then she had amazing performances in four different movie last year and was all over the place.

i mean how the hell does one get THAT much exposure from nothing to so many features in such a short period of time (granted they were probably shot over a period of years together, and just happened to all come out in 2011, but still)?

She did Tree of Life first which was her big break. Malick doesn't mind casting unknowns, but he also casts huge celebs and he's very well-respected in the industry so that opened her up to the other parts she got. And Tree of Life started/finished shooting in 2007/2008, The Debt was done by 2010 but held over to 2011. It was just a weird timing thing that movies she shot over a period of 4 years all came out the same year.

Isn't it an open secret that she's Ron Howard's daughter?

I'm well aware that Bryce Dallas HOWARD is Ron HOWARD's daughter. I'm taking about Jessica being his love-child or something. I probably made it up from a blind item.

I think you did make it up, lol.

People were joking about that last year because Jessica Chastain's real name is Jessica Howard (she took her mother's maiden name as an acting name) and she looks so much like BDH but they're not related.

OMG @ my funny head. I like to tell people I totally believe everything I read as it makes my life more interesting. And I love a good conspiracy theory, lol.

Her big buzzy role was the title character in Jolene. That put her on everyone's radar in a big way.

After that it was luck that all her movies were released that summer.
