But I can’t see Jessica Chastain as Tammy Faye at all. You know, every night, I kiss “ Idris Elba” (aka the pillow on the left side of me) and “ Alexander Skarsgard” (aka the pillow on the right side of me) goodnight, so I obviously have an imagination. In case you need a refresher, this is what Jim and glamour and yodeler icon Tammy Faye looked like: Jessica Chastain is also going to produce. Vanilla Ice, Erika Estrada, and Ron Jeremy shouldn’t expect a phone call, because I don’t think this biopic is going to cover Tammy Faye’s Surreal Life days, sadly. It will follow Jim and Tammy Faye as they build a kingdom of MONAY!!!! using Jesus’ name before it all crumbled from fraud, embezzlement, and rape allegations from then church secretary Jessica Hahn. Variety says that comedian/director Michael Showalter, who directed The Big Sick and Hello, My Name Is Doris (and co-created Wet Hot American Summer), will direct a Jim and Tammy Faye biopic based on the masterpiece documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
Jessica Chastain is taking Tammy Faye and Andrew Garfield is taking Jim. You’re probably rolling your eyes at me like, “ Bitch, shut up, Andrew Garfield can totally pull off Tammy Faye.” But sadly, Andrew Garfield is not slapping a pair of tar-dipped tarantulas from heaven onto his eyes to play Tammy Faye.
