Up next for Jessica Chastain is writer-director Olivier Masset-Depasse’s Hitchcockian psychological thriller Mothers’ Instinct with Anne Hathaway (The Witches).
The film will follow best friends and neighbors (Chastain and Hathaway) who live an idyllic traditional lifestyle. Manicured lawns, successful husbands, and sons of the same age. But life’s perfect harmony is suddenly shattered after a tragic accident. Now guilt, suspicion, and also paranoia combine to unravel their sisterly bond. And a psychological battle of wills begins as the maternal instinct reveals its darker side.
The film is a remake of the Belgian movie Duelles based on the novel Derrière La Haine by Barbara Abel. Sarah Conradt (50 States of Fright) is adapting the script.
Kelly Carmichael, Paul Nelson, and also Jacques-Henri Bronckart (The Nun) produce.
