Jessica Chastain, an Oscar-winning actress, stars in the thriller Mother’s Instinct, which revolves around the lives of two housewives in the 1960s whose friendships and lives are destroyed by a horrific event.
Hathaway stated that “it was one of those jobs you really, really did not want to take home with you,” the News reported.
Benoit Delhomme’s directorial debut, Mother’s Instinct, is a 24-day shoot that is an adaptation of the 2018 French film of the same name.
The Devil Wears Prada actress claims that although she’s usually “laid back on set,” the plot of this movie made her draw a boundary between business and personal life.
“I did call a meeting with Jessica [Chastain], Benoit [Delhomme – the director] and a few of the key crew, and I just said, ‘Listen, I’m going to have to insist on this one, that you call me my character’s name’.”
She claims to have said to them, “This is my worst fear, so I kind of have to create a protective layer between me and her.” And in the end, I would truly love it if everyone could simply rally behind me and help me out in this way. And you guys were incredible, and I felt safe in that regard.”
