Can't wait for a new Jess movie

We already have a promo poster for Miss Sloane, and still nothing for TZW that wrapped up eons ago.

"Woman Walks Ahead" news:

Quote:

Jessica Chastain is getting ready to strut on down to the Standing Rock Reservation in her new film “Woman Walks Ahead.” The Juilliard alum has been lining her schedule with award-qualifying films for years and this project looks to stay firmly on that track. The historical drama, based on a true story, will follow Caroline Weldon, a 19th century activist who relocated to the Standing Rock Reservation to help keep the land for Sioux chieftain Sitting Bull and his people. The film has only announced the casting of Chastain but further announcements will be made as Barden/Schnee fill the remaining roles. Filming will start in the fall in New Mexico.

I guess she'll be filming her part for TDALOJFD in the summer.

Is her part in Dolan's film small?

ina_am · 06-21-2016, 01:42 AM

Maybe? Thanks for the note

Tisha89 · 06-22-2016, 01:59 AM

She said her part will only take a couple of weeks to shoot. You're welcome, Ina.

ina_am · 06-22-2016, 02:41 AM

It will be interesting to see her in this

Musidora · 06-23-2016, 12:46 AM

She'll probably have a lot of fun working with Xavier.

Tisha89 · 06-23-2016, 02:29 AM

I bet she will.

ina_am · 06-23-2016, 11:07 AM

I think so too

Some (old) TDALOJFD news and its filming schedule. I read that WWA begins production in October.

Quote:

As the scale of your movies gets bigger, has it changed the way you make films?

Not really. They’re still intimate… hopefully, honest, and actor-driven, hair-crazy… The scale and size change, but the approach will always be personal. Working with Jessica Chastain, Susan [Sarandon] and Kit [Harrington] and everyone else on "Donovan" will be incredibly stimulating. But the thing is, to me, from film to film, the attitude stays the same, and the passion too. What matters isn’t fame or reputation, it’s the fact that you get to work with artists who share the same excitement for precision as you. So that never changes.

"The Death and Life of John F. Donovan" has been pushed a couple of times, which in the world of bigger movies with an all-star cast is completely normal. Has this been frustrating for you, or are you looking to take more time between projects?

It’s not been frustrating. It’s been a blessing. There always is a reason to things happening or not. You make your own fate in the proportions that you can, but some things are out of your control. In the meantime, I got to shoot "It’s Only the End of the World" because of Donovan being pushed back. And when I come to think of it, I was not ready to shoot "Donovan" before, and the script wasn’t ready either.

Last summer, I went to New York to meet with a producer that I love. He told me he had notes for me, and that I would perhaps dislike hearing them, but that he didn’t want to spare me. I said, fine. I sat in front of him, and for four consecutive hours, I listened to him question or dismiss almost every aspect of the film, from skin to core, doubting the actual point of the film itself. It was great, honestly. When no one wants a movie, there is a reason. We got back to work with Jacob Tierney, my friend and co-writer, and rewrote the entire thing. The movie was picked up two or three weeks later. All the cast agrees that this version has nothing to do with the one before. So it was meant to be that way.

You're next film, The Death and Life of John F Donovan, will be both your first English-language film and the first shot in the U.S.. How is it coming along and what has the experience been like so far?

It’s all very exciting. We are in prep and start shooting in Montreal on July 9th for 40 days. Then, Prague and London in September and October, and New York for a split-second before Thanksgiving. So it’s mostly shot outside of the US. But it’s an American story, to be precise. So far, it’s been great, but we have a huge cast, not only in terms of notoriety, but in terms of the number of actors flying in and out of our set. It’s just very challenging to orchestrate all this, and still not make accommodating choices that compromise the film artistically or narratively speaking. But we’re doing good, I think. It’s been great with all the cast, and I’m excited about working with each of them.

Thanks for these

You're welcome, Ina. If WWA starts shooting in October, she'll probably film her part in Montreal.
