VIDEO: Jessica Chastain Featured in New Trailer for SALOME/WILD SALOME

A new trailer has arrived for 'Salomé'/'Wild Salomé', a documentary about making of the movie, "Wild Salomé," first screened at the Venice Film Festival in 2011, but now part of a double feature heading to UK theaters. Get a first look below!

Salomé: the Oscar Wilde play is set in the time of Jesus and is the story of Salomé (Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain appearing in her first movie role), a princess whose stepfather, King Herod (Pacino), drunkenly promises whatever she desires if she performs the erotically charged "Dance of the Seven Veils" for him. Her demand for the head of John the Baptist - the only man whom Herod fears - leaves the king in a terrible position.

Wilde Salomé: the documentary (directed by Pacino) takes us on a journey that focuses on his fascination and obsession for Wilde's work after seeing the play performed in London with Stephen Berkoff in the role that Pacino would go on to fill.

The double bill will screen in the UK on Sunday, September 21st hosted by Stephen Fry, in conversation with Pacino and Chastain.

Chastain made her Broadway debut in The Heiress in 2012.
