Jessica Chastain on the Zero Dark Thirty shoot talks about how difficult the shoot was for a variety of reasons. But she also says that the script by Mark Boal is aces:
“It was a very stressful shoot. Maybe that’s all I should say,” Jessica told MTV News. “It was a very stressful shoot, but how could it not be when you’re dealing with that kind of material and you’re in that part of the world? We were shooting part of it in Chandigarh, India, which is on the border of Pakistan.”
“It’s such great responsibility in the story we were telling. It was a lot of pressure. I think the script is one of the best scripts that I have ever read, and my part is awesome. I’m excited for it to come out at the end of the year.”
