Not a complete surprise when you consider all the Oscar-nominated films that make up Jessica Chastain‘s glowing Hollywood career. The film, which hits theaters on November 22, has other heavy-hitting names behind it such as Aaron Sorkin, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner and Michael Cera. Believe it or not, but this will be Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut film. Here’s more about the film:

Molly Bloom (Chastain), a beautiful, young, Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Elba), who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe. Source
