She can currently be seen in Niki Caro’s The Zookeeper’s Wife and most recently starred in John Madden’s Miss Sloane, which earned Chastain her fourth Golden Globe Award nomination. She has received numerous nominations and accolades for her work, following riveting performances in Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, A Most Violent Year, indie darling The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, and Ridley Scott’s The Martian. Chastain launched Freckle Films, a new production venture alongside transatlantic financing-production banner Maven Pictures.
