Chastain Wants to Play a Bond Villain, Get Her Hands Dirty

Jessica Chastain, star of "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Mama," admitted to The Playlist she's love to play a Bond villain, saying she's itching to play a less well-intentioned character.

"Enough of the graceful characters. I want to get my hands dirty."

She also gushed about being a big horror fan, citing "The Exorcist," "Rosemary's Baby," "The Others," and "Jaws" as favorites.

"You think about Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Mia Farrow, Jamie Lee Curtis. So many women I really respect have done these great characters in horror films. And I'm excited. I hope to do even more! I love it so much."

Chastain stars in new horror flick "Mama," which opened this week and smashed the box office competition, bringing in a whopping $28.1 million over the three-day weekend. Chastain's films now hold the top two slots in the box office, with "Zero Dark Thirty" coming in second. The industrious redhead is in an enviable position, but she's finally reaping the benefits of her years of hard work.
