Jessica Chastain is coming for your guns in the ‘Miss Sloane’ trailer
Just a day after it was announced that Natalie Portman in Jackie has entered the Best Actress Oscar race, the trailer and poster for Jessica Chastain’s gun-control drama Miss Sloane has dropped.
Chastain plays the titular character, a Washington lobbyist set on passing a strict gun-control bill. The trailer, and Chastain, gives a bit of Zero Dark Thirty toughness and is full of suspense and drama. I kept expecting her to say “I’m the motherf–ker that founded this bill.”
Miss Sloane also stars starring Chastain, Mark Strong, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Stulbarg, Alison Pill, Jake Lacy, Sam Waterston and John Lithgow and was directed by John Madden (the Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love). It opens December 9 from EuropaCorp, which is, incidentally, also the opening day of Fox Searchlight’s Jackie. Interesting symbiosis there.

That has to be the dumbest, most unhelpful, possibly dangerous headline I’ve seen in days–the others all part of the media’s assault on Hillary Clinton. TAKE IT DOWN.
I’m sorry you don’t enjoy topical humor or irony. Sad!
No.
