Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain is reuniting with 'The Help' co-star Octavia Spencer for a new comedy movie.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Chastain and Spencer are teaming up for an untitled holiday comedy set up at the Universal.
Written by the 'Molly's Game' star and Kelly Carmichael, the film centres on two women who hope to make it home for Christmas.
The project is described as being in the vein of 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles', the movie that saw John Candy and Steve Martin stuck with each other as they tried to make it to their respective homes for Christmas.
Universal beat out both Fox and Paramount for the movie.
Both stars have been standouts in the current awards season; Chastain and Spencer received Golden Globe nominations for 'Molly's Game' and 'The Shape of Water,' respectively.
