Chastain Now Part of ‘The Help’
We'll soon be finding Jessica Chastain in a plethora of film roles in the autumn this year (THR reports that Miramax is somehow still afloat and releasing The Debt in October) and she is booking a role for next month in Greenwood, Mississippi on Tate Taylor's The Help (he was recently seen in a bit part in Winter's Bone).

This year's batch comes from the U.S., China, Israel/Palestinian Territories and the Philippines.
