Jerod Harris/Getty ImagesCongratulations to Jessica Chastain, Official Crush Of The Projector, for grabbing the lead role in Tom Cruise's new joint "Horizons," directed by the presumed visionary who directed "Tron: Legacy." (We didn't mean that all snotty-like: Lots of people really do love the "Tron" guy.) Chastain beat out several actresses (Brit Marling, Olivia Wilde, Noomi Rapace) for the part, and we're very happy for her: As we've previously established, co-starring opposite Cruise is excellent for a lady's career, so we heretofore submit to our Chastain Overlord and hope that her reign will be a peaceful one.
Still, it ain't all strawberries and sunshine for Cruise co-stars. Here are some helpful tips for Projector Crush Chastain, on how to successfully navigate a shoot with His Cruiseness.
1. No heels.
2. It's very likely the film will wrap production around July, which happens to be the month that Cruise turns 50. This is not to be mentioned under any circumstances.
3. It is not strange that everyone on set is required to wear a T-shirt with this image. Nope. Just nod and go along with it.
4. Occasionally you will be asked to fan Katie and carry a large piece of plywood for her protection, if you happen to end up on the same side of Katie as the sun.
5. Just let him wear the eyepatch. He likes it.
6. Seriously, no heels.
