It seems a bit remarkable that we’ve only had one movie so far this year starring the always busy Jessica Chastain, and it’s one that many would rather forget about (“Huntsman: Winter’s War“). But it wouldn’t be awards season without the actress, and she has a movie coming in the months ahead which could once again put the two-time Oscar nominee in the conversation.

“Miss Sloane” sees Chastain directed by John Madden (“Shakespeare In Love“), and joined by Mark Strong, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alison Pill, Jake Lacy, Sam Waterston, and John Lithgow in a thriller about a lobbyist working in the cutthroat world of Washington, D.C. Here’s the official synopsis:
MISS SLOANE is the story of a ruthless lobbyist (Jessica Chastain) who is notorious for her unparalleled talent and her desire to win at all costs, even when it puts her own career at risk. The thriller pulls back the curtain on how Capitol Hill games are played and won as Sloane faces off against the most influential powers in D.C.
“Miss Sloane” opens on December 9th. Check out the latest image below.
