According to the most recent reports on the project by Variety, Chastain is also producing the movie, which will reunite her with Octavia Spencer (her Oscar-winning co-star from 2011’s The Help) and The Eyes of Tammy Faye helmer Michael Showalter, who is said to be directing the picture.
Of course, not all of Jessica Chastain’s biggest projects in development are all doom and gloom, such as this currently untitled comedy set during the holiday season.
The film sounds a bit like a gender-flipped remake of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, but instead of Thanksgiving, the holiday our protagonists are committed to making it home for on time is Christmas.
