Jessica Chastain is taking control of the story

The new season of Next Question with Katie Couric launches with a satisfying dive into the movie industry with the brilliant Jessica Chastain. Jessica is up for another Oscar for her transformative performance in The Eyes of Tammy Faye. And in this intimate conversation, the pair talk about how Jessica broke into an industry that had “no idea what to do with [her],” the “acting Godfather” who helped her, and how she spent decades getting Tammy Faye to screen (and how she perfected that signature look and sound). Katie and Jessica also discuss the pervasiveness of the movie industry’s boys club, Jessica’s personal fight for gender equality, and how the movie business is evolving — and the ways it still needs to.
