Oscar-nommed Jessica Chastain joins Guillermo del Toro's "Crimson Peak"April 6, 2013 - 14:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Jessica Chastain has joined Guillermo del Toro's upcoming haunted house thriller "Crimson Peak." The Oscar-nominee rounds out a top-shelf cast that includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Stone and Charlie Hunnam, TheWrap said. Chastain has made a name for herself as a darling of indie films like "Take Shelter" and "Tree of Life," but has also proved her box office bona fides in hits like "Mama," which del Toro produced, and "Zero Dark Thirty," which grossed more than $100 million worldwide despite its controversial depictions of torture. This isn't the first time del Toro has been attached to a haunted house film. At one point, he was slated to make "Haunted Mansion," a big screen version of Disney's theme park ride, for the studio, but that project appears to have been delayed. In 2012, he told Collider that he still hoped the film would be made. "Crimson Peak" will begin shooting in January 2014. Legendary will produce and help finance the movie.
