Last week, we got our first look<\/a> at Jessica Chastain\u2019s remarkable transformation into televangelist and camp icon Tammy Faye Bakker for director Michael Showalter\u2019s upcoming biopic<\/a> The Eyes of Tammy Faye<\/em>. As outrageous as those photos were, they barely scratched foundation<\/a> slathered surface! Today\u2019s release of the film\u2019s first official trailer gives us the broad spectrum of Chastain\u2019s go-for-broke performance.<\/p>\n

Based on the cult classic documentary<\/a> of the same name from 2000, The Eyes of Tammy Faye<\/em> tells the story of the dazzlingly over-the-top Tammy Faye\u2019s rise, fall and ultimate redemption. Here\u2019s how Searchlight Pictures describes the film:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world\u2019s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance and prosperity. Tammy Faye was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn\u2019t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully constructed empire.\u201d<\/p>\n
