If the calls stop coming into Bryce Dallas Howard’s agent’s office for the description of a young, lead red head, I get the feeling that it’s because newcomer Jessica Chastain might be grabbing her future roles instead. You might not know it yet, but Chastain is the next best thing – especially if Terence Malick’s The Tree of Life turns out to be golden. She has now been added to Ami Canaan Mann’s The Fields as the film’s co-lead. But just before uploading the piece, I noticed that Chastain isn’t the only lady with a bright future who is boarding the project – an accidental find on IMDB reports that Chloe Moretz will also be joining the picture. I first caught a glimpse of Moretz here, and just recently saw her steal the show in Kick Ass.
Written by Don Ferrarone, The Fields is the story of two homicide detectives (Worthington and Chastain) who probe a series of murders along coastal Texas. During the course of the investigation they must overcome fierce killers as they race to save a street child named Little Anne (Chloe Moretz) from becoming the next victim.
Chastain will be seen next in John Madden’s The Debt, Al Pacino’s Wilde Salome and is currently filming Coriolanus for Ralph Fiennes’ directorial debut.
I was wondering if any of our readers happen to see Chastain in the indie film Jolene? Am I overhyping the actress?
