Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (A Most Violent Year) is set to star in political thriller Miss Sloane for Europacorp and FilmNation, Deadline reports.
John Madden (Shakespeare In Love) is directing the film, which will see Chastain playing “a powerful lobbyist who sacrifices her career on Federal Hill in order to successfully pass an amendment enforcing stricter gun control laws.” It will mark the second time Chastain and Madden have worked together after 2010’s The Debt.
Christophe Lambert, CEO of EuropaCorp said: “The film’s subject matter of gun control is an incredibly important issue in today’s world…..John Madden and Jessica Chastain bring with them such a high level of artistry, making Miss Sloane a perfect addition to the EuropaCorp slate.”
“We at FilmNation are excited to be partnering with EuropaCorp,” adds Glen Basner, CEO FilmNation. “And we are thrilled to see John Madden and Jessica Chastain working together again on what we know will be a highly entertaining and thought provoking film.”
