The Big Picture Jessica Chastain's prolific career has spanned the last two decades. From her breakout roles in films like The Help to her most recent role in the psychological thriller Mothers' Instinct, she has played a diverse cast of characters and earned recognition as one of the greatest actors of the 21st century. But this success was hard-earned, and also, in typical Hollywood fashion, came about through a series of chance person-to-person introductions.
Release Date December 20, 2013 Director Al Pacino Cast Al Pacino , Jessica Chastain , Kevin Anderson , Estelle Parsons Runtime 95 Minutes Main Genre Documentary Writers Al Pacino Expand Al Pacino Needed a Co-Star for the Play 'Salomé' In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Chastain told the story of how she met Pacino and the direct impact he had on getting her into auditions.
1 Not only did starring opposite Pacino give Chastain more visibility to Hollywood directors, but Pacino also personally vouched for her. Among those he spoke with was director Terrence Malick, who in 2005 had begun looking to cast his upcoming arthouse gem, The Tree of Life. Though Pacino had not officially worked with Malick , the two were mutual admirers of each other's work. Malick took a chance on Chastain, and she was cast in the film, which came out in 2011.
