Even though it’s not likely to start shooting until early next year, Guillermo Del Toro is pulling together a great cast for Crimson Peak. He’s already got Emma Stone, Charlie Hunnam, and Benedict Cumberbatch onboard, and now Variety reports that Zero Dark Thirty star Jessica Chastain is in final talks to join the cast.
Not too much is known about the movie, although it is known that it takes place in the early 1900s, with half of the movie set in the US and the rest in a decaying mansion in Cumbria in North West England. Del Toro has also described is as a ghost story and a gothic romance.
As with the other actors, not specific details are known about the character Chastain will be playing. Guillermo del Toro is directing from a screenplay he is co-writing with British playwright Lucinda Clarkson.
