“Eve”
Jessica Chastain gets her own assassin movie with this piece which is said to be much more of a character drama akin to “The American” than an action feature like “Atomic Blonde”. Chastain both stars in and produces the film which went through controversy last year when writer/director Matthew Newton had to exit as the director as multiple allegations of assault and domestic violence from his past came back up and Chastain, a vocal advocate of the MeToo movement, was accused of hypocrisy. Newton’s script is still being used, but Chastain’s “The Help” director Tate Taylor came onboard to replace him in the director’s chair. Subsequently, an impressive supporting cast including Colin Farrell, Common, John Malkovich, Geena Davis and Joan Chen signed on.
