If it wasn't for Jennifer Lawrence's amazing performance in Silver Linings Playbook, Jessica Chastain would have been a shoe-in for the Oscar. Lucky for her she's got plenty of good acting years ahead. However, I don't think the possible involvement in her next project is likely to win her an Academy Award.
According to The New York Post (so take this rumor with a mine full of salt) director David Yates' wants Chastain to swing out of the desert and into the jungle as Jane in his Tarzan reboot. I definitely could see this working. Chastain has that Jane look and I believe she'd easily adapt to a Victorian era historical film.
There's little news on the story, only that Tarzan takes place years after he's assimilated back into society and Queen Victoria requests he go on a mission to investigate a warlord in the Congo. The only confirmed actor is the lead, Alexander Skarsgard, although Samuel L. Jackson is rumored to have a supporting role. (Natch!)
There is no release date for Tarzan at this time.
