HOLLYWOOD actress Jessica Chastain is looking forward to receiving a warm welcome when she arrives in Fermanagh for the filming of Miss Julie in Castlecoole.

Tinseltown's lady of the moment, Jessica will play the main role in the movie, which will also star Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton.

When asked by the Impartial Reporter (via her facebook page, on which she tries to respond individually to her 53,068 followers) if she is looking forward to visiting Fermanagh and receiving a warm welcome from the local community, she gave her trademark response "xxjes".

The style-icon has recently been in Paris for the Fall Fashion week and has featured on billboards in the city as the face of Yves Saint Laurent's new Manifesto fragrance. She and her co-stars are expected to arrive in the county soon for filming.

On Wednesday the busy 35-year-old told her facebook fans: "I know my responses haven't been as personal as they used to be, but thank you all for continuing to post - I love reading everything." From California, Chastain has most recently starred in Mama, Zero Dark Thirty, The Tree of Life and The Help.

The flame haired beauty received an Oscar nomination for Best Leading Actress for Zero Dark Thirty and won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in that film. In 2011, she also received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for The Help.

Educated at The Juilliard School in New York City, she worked in TV and theatre before making a name for herself in film.

Directed by Liv Ullmann, Miss Julie is a screen adaptation of the famous play by Swedish playwright August Strindberg.
