Jessica Chastain’s gun control thriller “Miss Sloane” has been picked up by EuropaCorp and production is set to begin in March 2016.

In the film–written by Jonathan Perera–Chastain will play a lobbyist who dedicates everything she has to securing passage of stricter gun control laws. Deadline described Chastain’s role by saying, “She would play the lead, the seasoned lobbyist who, with her small team of politicos, attempts to pass the hot-button legislation into federal law while going up against well-financed and unscrupulous members of the gun lobby.”

According to The Wrap, the film “was sold at the Toronto Film Festival.” Upon acquiring the film EuropaCorp CEO Christopher Lambert said. “The film’s subject matter of gun control is an incredibly important issue in today’s world. John Madden and Jessica Chastain bring with them such a high level of artistry, making ‘Miss Sloane’ a perfect addition to the EuropaCorp slate.”

FilmNation Entertainment will also play a role in the film’s production and it will be directed by John Madden.

She wouldn’t miss Sloane if she spent more time at the range.

So “thriller” is what they are calling blatant propaganda now?

It is always those who are opposed to their agenda are “unscrupulous”. Libtard progressives are never unscrupulous in fiction.

In my opinion she needs to get some more of a different type of gun.

So is the “thriller” element going to involve seeing whether or not the criminal or tragic misuse of firearms will be affected by this woman’s efforts?

Blatant propaganda from Hollywood has always been called either thrillers, comedies, action, or dramas.

Next gun I buy will be in her honor.

Yawn. Every few decades Hollywood will churn out an anti-gun movie.

TARGETS (1968)
AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT (1995)
RUNAWAY JURY (2003)
These immediately come to mind.

Used to be when TV was saturated with anti-gun scripts.

Gun lobby members are always portrayed as ‘unscrupulous’ ... I wonder why that is?
