Sioux Ally

A Woman Walks Ahead, and that woman just might be Jessica Chastain.

The Snow White & the Huntsman: Winter’s War star is thisclose to signing on to headline a film by that title that director Susanna White (Generation Kill) is getting ready to helm. Ed Zwick will be producing.

Based on the true story of Catherine Weldon, a widowed artist from Brooklyn who, in 1889, journeyed to the Standing Rock Reservation in Dakota Territory to help Sitting Bull hold onto land that the government was trying to take away from his people, the Sioux.

Awards bait much?
