Jessica Chastain will star and produce Eve.
The 41-year-old actress is producing the character-driven feature through her Freckle Films production company with Voltage Pictures.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, it is known that Matthew Newton will serve as both writer and director.
Nicolas Chartier and Dominic Rustam and Kelly Carmichael will produce alongside Chastain. Chastain and Carmichael said in a joint statement, “Matthew is wonderfully adept at crafting complex and relatable characters. We’ve been fans of his work and are so thrilled to be partnering with him and Voltage on Eve.”
Chartier said, “Matt Newton wrote a wonderful new character in Eve and Jessica Chastain will once again deliver an amazing performance.”
“I have always admired Jessica Chastain’s work. So when I wrote Eve, an intelligent, strong, and incredibly capable character, she was my immediate first choice to bring her to life. I am humbled and thrilled to be collaborating with Jessica and Voltage on the film,” Newton said.
Chastain is currently shooting It: Chapter Two and can be seen next in X-Men: The Dark Phoenix.
