The Help 2: Jessica Chastain Expresses Interest In A Sequel To Polarizing Movie

Jessica Chastain has shared interest in making a sequel to The Help. The 2011 Oscar-nominated movie is adapted from Kathryn Stockett’s novel that takes place in 1963 Mississippi. It tells the story of a white journalist named Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan (Emma Stone) interviewing and writing a book about Black women who spent their lives caring for affluent white families. Aibileen Clark (Viola Davis) and Minerva “Minny” Jackson (Octavia Spencer) are the Black women who receive the most focus in the story. Minny works for Celia Foote (Chastain), who is shunned by the other white housewives.
