Unstoppable Woman

Whoa, Jessica Chastain is redefining being a working actor in Hollywood.

The white-hot actress, who had a banner 2011, is going to make 2012 another one for the books. She’ll be making her Broadway debut this fall, and now comes word that she is in talks to join Joel Edgerton in Kathryn Bigelow’s film about the takedown of Osama bin Laden.

Chastain would play a field intelligence analyst whose work helps lead the SEAL Team 6 to getting the terrorist.

Mark Strong (Sherlock Holmes, Green Lantern) and Édgar Ramírez (Domino, the miniseries Carlos) reportedly are circling the project as well.

Chastain to the Stage

She dominated the big screen in 2011 with like, more than a handful of performances, and now Jessica Chastain has set her sights on owning Broadway.

The actress, who is likely to earn an Oscar nod for something in the next few weeks (my money’s on The Help), will make her Great White Way debut in a revival of Ruth and Augustus Goetz’s The Heiress.

You can expect to see Chastain on the New York stage in the fall.
