Jessica Chastain is Channeling All Kinds of Corporate Badassery in the MISS SLOANE Trailer

So, as some of you may already know, I worship at the church of Jessica Chastain. I think she can do no wrong, even in the wrongest movies like *ahem* The Help (yeah, I said it). After her Oscar-nominated turn in the aforementioned movie, she's gone on to portray some of the most interesting ice queens in modern cinema--Lucille in Crimson Peak, Anna in A Most Violent Year, Maya in Zero Dark Thirty, and the title character in The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, to name a few. In short, I think she's the cat's meow.

Which is another reason why MISS SLOANE caught my attention. The actress stars as a ruthless D.C. lobbyist who goes to great lengths to get her way--no matter the risk. Synopsis:

MISS SLOANE is the story a brilliant but 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.

Chastain re-teams with director John Madden (The Debt), and stars alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alison Pill, Mark Strong, and John Lithgow.

Watch the trailer:

I'm very intrigued. MISS SLOANE hits theaters December 9.
