A Most Violent Year 2 Update by Jessica Chastain

Actress Jessica Chastain has given an update on an A Most Violent Year sequel.

The 2014 crime drama movie was written and directed by J. C. Chandor. The film starred Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. “In 1981 New York, a fuel supplier (Oscar Isaac) tries to adhere to his own moral compass amid the rampant violence, corruption, and decay that threaten his family and his business,” reads the synopsis.

Chastain recently told EW about an update on A Most Violent Year 2. “Here’s the reality, and we’ll see if this ever happens, because this is a script I’m waiting to get written. Waiting on,” she said in an interview conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike. “It’s a story about capitalism using this family, [it’s] the American story. J.C. has a really good… when I first met with him, he pitched me this whole idea, and I think it’s amazing, so I’m waiting. I’m just waiting to get a script.”

She admits she wants to know “what happens to Anna Morales 10 years later.” “You know she’s ruling the roost,” Chastain says before pointing out a few of Anna’s key moments from the film. “You know she grew up in a not great situation, she’s got the gun in her purse, she’s ready, she shoots the deer, like, no problem. She’s ready to be let out of her cage.”

Will Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain work together again?

The two most recently acted across from each other in the HBO miniseries Scenes From a Marriage.
