Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac are two of the most in demand actors at the moment, and they are set to star together for the first time in A Most Violent Year.

A Most Violent Year will mark the return of J.C. Chandor to the director's chair - he has also penned the screenplay for the movie. This is just the third directorial outing for Chandor, after being behind margin call and All is Lost in recent years.

Chastain and Isaac are set to play husband and wife in the film, and are joined on the cast list by David Oyelowo, Alessandro Nivola, Albert Brooks and Elyes Gabel.

Set during the winter of 1981 - statistically one of the most crime-ridden of New York City's history - A Most Violent Year is a drama following the lives of an immigrant and his family as they attempt to capitalize on the American Dream.

However, the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.

Chastain is set to return to the big screen this week as she stars in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, she has also completed work on Crimson Peak and has been linked to a role in Jobs.

As for Isaac, he is currently filming Star Wars: Episode VII - which will be released at the end of next year - but he has also completed work on Mojave and Ex Machina.

A Most Violent Year looks set to be a great crime/drama and January is promising to be an exciting start to the new movie year with so many great films to look forward to.

A Most Violent Year is released 23rd January 2015.
