Jessica Chastain started 2023 by telling Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that she was open to reading a script for the film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.” The Oscar-winning actor has long been fans’ top choice to play the title character, a reclusive old Hollywood star who reflects on her life during a final interview with an unknown journalist.
“I do know there is an online thing about it,” Chastain said when asked about the fan casting. “Sure, send me a script.”
Cut to the end to the year, and Chastain is officially closing the book on starring in a “Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” movie. She recently told E! News (via IndieWire) that there is “zero possibility” she’ll play Evelyn Hugo in a movie.

Fans of Jessica Chastain and Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” are in for another disappointment: The Oscar winner confirmed there is “zero possibility” she will star in the film adaptation.
Netflix first announced a feature film version of the 2017 novel — about a fictional Old Hollywood movie star who gives her final interview — back in 2022. Writer Liz Tigelaar (who’s worked on “Brothers & Sisters” and created the CW series “Life Unexpected”) was attached to pen the script, with Leslye Headland (“Russian Doll” co-creator and “The Acoylte” showrunner) attached to direct.
“I love how excited the fans are,” Chastain told E! News in a recent interview. “When I was working on Broadway, every single day, they’d be outside, when I was signing, with the books. I just love how wonderful that fan base is.”
Fans campaigned on social media for Chastain to play Celia St.

A television adaptation of Lucy Foley’s best-selling novel “The Guest List” is in development at Hulu from “Little Fires Everywhere” and “Tiny Beautiful Things” creator Liz Tigelaar.
“On a remote island off a rugged coast, guests attend a dazzling celebrity wedding. But with a storm brewing, the picture perfect affair darkens as the guests and their shared histories dangerously collide — and then the lights go out. And a body is found,” the logline states. “As old secrets are brought to the surface, and the mysteries swirl — the question remains, who among these people deserved to die? And who had something to kill for?”
Tigelaar, who will serve as the eight-to-10 episode limited series’ writer and showrunner, will executive produce alongside Foley, Stacey Silverman and Best Day Ever Productions.
Tigelaar, Silverman and Best Day Ever are currently under an overall deal at ABC Signature, with several projects in development.

Netflix announced in March 2022 that it's producing a movie version of the bestselling novel "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. The book, released in 2017, became a major bestseller, thanks in part to amazing word of mouth on social media. On June 29, the streamer announced that "Russian Doll" co-creator Leslye Headland will direct the film with Liz Tigelaar handling the script, so it seemed like a casting announcement was surely imminent.
However, there still isn't an official cast, so we have a lot of ideas about who we'd like to see star as the titular lead and her seven husbands.
As readers know, in the book, Evelyn Hugo, now 79, asks magazine writer Monique Grant to help her write her life story. Monique is suspicious as to why a famous actor wants to work with her, but she agrees to listen. Evelyn recounts her life, from growing up...

The second trailer for “Dune: Part Two” arrives presumably in time to play with opening weekend showings of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” meaning there will absolutely be time for a third sell between now and mid-November. This sweeping, very serious 184-second sell promises mass battle scenes, epic confrontations, new characters played by Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken as well as plenty of handwringing as to whether Paul Atreides’s destiny is to become a chosen one closer to Harry Potter or Anakin Skywalker.

Jessica Chastain has responded to a viral TikTok video in which she declined to sign a fan’s copy of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.”
A fan-backed campaign has pushed to get Chastain to star as Celia St. James in an adaptation of the novel — penned by the same author whose “Daisy Jones & the Six” was adapted into the Prime Video series starring Riley Keough. Outside of her Broadway run of “A Doll’s House,” a fan approached her with the book asking for her signature, but she refused, saying, “I can’t sign that — just because I’m not doing it.”

Jessica Chastain is sharing her autograph policy. The Oscar winner was recently captured in a viral video turning down signing a copy of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” novel following her performance in Broadway revival of “A Doll’s House” at the Hudson Theatre, outside of which she regularly greets fans.
“I can’t sign that, just because I’m not doing it,” Chastain says to the fan in the video. The “Molly’s Game” star later took to Twitter to explain her reasoning for declining to sign books such as these.
“I’ve been asked multiple times by fans, to sign books that I’m not attached to contractually. Because it feels wrong, and like I’m taking credit for someone else’s work, I’ll say I can’t sign because I’m not doing it,” Chastain wrote. “That doesn’t mean I’ve read a bad script.

There are many beloved literary universes, from Middle Earth, brilliantly woven by Jrr Tolkien, to Cs Lewis's Narnia, a world accessible through a wardrobe. But how about a totality that completely hinges on one man's philandering ways? Ask, and Taylor Jenkins Reid delivers.
The beloved author - who's the mind behind bestselling books like "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and "One True Loves" - anchors many of her books around those in the spotlight. In particular, her four most recent novels all investigate the plights of fame and feature cameos (for the most part) from a fictional singer in the vein of Rod Stewart. That man's name? Mick Riva.
Mick is introduced, first, in "Evelyn Hugo" - a minor character, at best. He pops up again, albeit briefly, in "Daisy Jones & The Six," which was just adapted into a Prime Video streaming series starring Riley Keough and Sam Claflin.
