Jessica Chastain series shelved in wake of Charlie Kirk assassination finally gets 2027 release - Entertainment Weekly

There's a moment in Other Mommy that lingers with you: Jessica Chastain, who plays the film's sinister demonic entity, stares blankly at Bela (Arabella Olivia Clark), the 7-year-old girl whose trust she's trying to win. Her eyes are wide, painfully pulled back and held with an unsettling restraint, while a large, unnatural smile curls across her mouth. The Other Mommy stares at Bela for a prolonged beat, her big eyes and plastered grin stuck in place as she politely asks Bela, "Can I go into your heart? " Chastain's new film, which arrived in theaters on Friday, isn't the first to instill fear with a devious grin (see Smile and Smile 2) — it's merely the most recent. Why can such a simple facial expression send chills down viewers' spines?

Key PointsMichael Douglas wrote in new memoir One Helluva Ride that Sean Young had a "terrible relationship" with most of the people on the set of 1987's Wall Street. He wrote that Sheen taped a profane sign on Young's back one day, and he removed it. Young told a similar story in March 2021Michael Douglas' Gordon Gekko might have been the antagonist in Wall Street, but the actor recalls that his costar Charlie Sheen held that title on set, at least when it came to Sean Young. "Sean Young, who played my wife, had a terrible relationship with Charlie and pretty much everyone else besides me," the Fatal Attraction star wrote in his new book, One Helluva Ride. "She caused a lot of problems on set, and many on the crew had an issue with her. It got so bad that at one point Charlie taped a sign on her back that read 'Biggest c--- in the world.'"Douglas said Young, who also starred in 1982's Blade Runner and 1984's Dune before the 1987 hit, didn't notice the sign for a while. "When I saw it, I pulled it off," he wrote. "'What was that?' she asked. 'Forget it.' It would have ended there, except the guy who furnished all the art for the film had seen it and told her.
