Best Actress 2013: Jessica Chastain, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby

It will be interesting to see how The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby films will be marketed.  (Will one be held off until next year, will they be released simultaneously? etc)  One is subtitled His and told from the perspective of the husband (played by James McAvoy) and the other, Hers, the wife (Jessica Chastain).  Not much is known about the script, other than the story concerns a marriage between a man working in the restaurant business and a woman going back to school.  The films will reunite Chastain with The Help costar Viola Davis.  Bill Hader, William Hurt, Ciarán Hinds, and Isabelle Huppert are also in the cast.  Ned Benson is an East Coast writer/director making his feature length debut(s).  One of his scripts (or an amalgam of the two) made The Black List six years ago with a couple of mentions.  The cinematographer is Christoper Blauvelt (Meek's Cutoff, The Bling Ring).
