A new poster for Tammy Faye’s eyes, presenting Jessica chastain in the title role, it has been released. The period drama, directed by Michael Showalter and also starring Andrew Garfield, has also been confirmed as part of the official lineup for the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
Based on the 2000 documentary of the same name directed by Fenton Bailey Y Randy barbato, Tammy Faye’s eyes is inspired by the lives of the famous televangelist couple Tammy Faye Bakker and Jim Bakker. A recently released trailer showed just how unrecognizable Chastain and Garfield looked in the lead roles.

Tammy Faye’s eyes marks a creative outlet for Showalter, who has worked primarily in the comedy genre. He led for the last time Lovebirds, starring Kumail Nanjiani Y Issa rae. The film continues Garfield’s streak of working on small-scale dramas after making big-budget movies: Following his stint as Spider-Man, the actor has worked with filmmakers like Ramin Bahrani, Martin Scorsese, Mel Gibson, David Robert Mitchell, and more recently, Gia coppola. He will soon be seen in the starring role of Lin-Manuel Mirandafeature film directorial debut, Tick, Tick… Boom! Regardless of how things turned out for him in the superhero space, Garfield will reprise his role as Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man: No Way Home, Collider reported last year.
For Chastain, this could be a legitimate shot at awards success for the first time since perhaps Zero thirty dark Y One more violent year. TO People, Chastain said she was particularly interested in exploring the criticism that Tammy Faye received for “her husband’s mistakes,” something many women “have fallen victim to.”
