Jessica Chastain is set to produce and star in an upcoming action film titled Eve. The film, produced by Chastain along with Freckle Films' Kelly Carmichael, Nicolas Chartier and Dominic Rustam, is written and directed by Matthew Newton. While plot details are being kept under wraps, the film is being described as a character study.

"I have always admired Jessica Chastain's work. So when I wrote Eve, an intelligent, strong, and incredibly capable character, she was my immediate first choice to bring her to life. I am humbled and thrilled to be collaborating with Jessica and Voltage on the film," says Matthew Newton.
