Director John Madden’s espionage thriller ‘The Debt’ begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Helen Mirren) and Stefan (Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciaran Hinds).

The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations. ‘The Debt’ is set for release August 31st in the US, and September 30th in the UK. Check out what Jessica Chastain had to say about the film below.
You get to be involved in quite a few combat scenes in this film, what was that like?
Jessica Chastain: I’ve never been in a fight in my life (laughs), when approaching this film I was a bit nervous about how I was going to realistic play a Mossad agent. So three and a half months before we started shooting I started working with a coach, that was incredibly helpful for me. I wanted it to look like it made sense, that Rachel could take down these people. My coach taught me a lot about how to use ones body weight, so even if you’re smaller than somebody else, you can use your bodyweight to twist someone’s arm that leads them into the ground, and you can pin them in certain ways. That coaching definitely gave me the confidence to approach those fight scenes, and be tough (laughs).

Emma Stone Interview For ‘The Help’
Aug 15th
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, ‘The Help’ stars Emma Stone (Easy A) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (Doubt) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny – three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change. The likes of Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Lowell, Mike Vogel, David Oyelowo, Anna Camp, Sissy Spacek, Ahna O Reilly, Allison Janney and Jessica Chastain also star. ‘The Help’ hits US cinemas August 12th, and UK cinemas October 28th.
We’ve seen you do many other things, but what was it like being in this great ensemble of women and get to dig into a more dramatic character and still get to be funny here and there?
Emma Stone: It was incredible, it was an amazing experience across the board. Life wise, telling a story that I was so proud to be a part of, getting to meet these women and getting to work with these women – I love women! I don’t understand women that they’re afraid you’re not going to get along with women. I always say that women who say they have more guy friends than girlfriends are usually b*tches (laughs). They are, and it’s because you’re not that nice to girls then because girls are great, women are great!
