“Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig is moving into dramatic territory with an American remake of the French smash “The Intouchables,” and buzz is building over who will take on the role that won Omar Sy the French equivalent of a Best Actor Oscar. We hear stars circling the role in the Weinstein Co. film include Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx and Idris Elba from “The Wire.” The story follows a wealthy, disabled man who hires a commoner caretaker. Sources say “Lawless” star Jessica Chastain and Michelle Williams of “My Week With Marilyn” are in the mix for the female lead. The movie’s original French version, which is now playing in the States, hauled in $349 million internationally.
With being the new face of YSL, promoting two upcoming movies, filming a movie in New York, and getting ready to star on Broadway, I don't see how Jessica would be able to do this role any time soon. Being in such HIGH demand is always good.
EDIT: Actually Jessica is filming TWO movies in New York.
Get money bitch.
