Surprising that Jessica Chastain took this role

This is so not her taste. She barely has anything to do and there's even a gratuitous nude scene. I feel like she had just enough clout at that time to turn this down. So I can't figure it out.

Wasn't this released before Zero Dark Thirty? She was definitely on the rise, but I don't think she had just enough juice to turn stuff down just yet.

Maybe she didn't mind showing her teats.

Plus, the Weinstein company was involved. According to Jessica, she aware of Harvey by this point. So the whole thing makes even less sense.

The nude scene was pretty tasteful. Maybe she wanted to work with the other actors. A lot of star power in this one.
