Casting Ben Affleck's Chinatown Movie

A huge sub-plot of the production of Chinatown focused on star Jack Nicholson's whirlwind romance with John Huston's daughter, Anjelica. The relationship acted as a strange mirror of a plotline in the film between John Huston's character and Nicholson's, and getting it right could be crucial to the success of Affleck's film.

Huston, like her father, is a bit of a character and her relationship with Nicholson was a predictable rollercoaster. The part would require an actress capable of convincingly playing several ends of the emotional spectrum. Affleck need look no further than Breaking Bad alum, Krysten Ritter.

Ritter is more famed for her television appearances of course, but over a variety of roles she has proven herself a nuanced actress capable of embodying no-nonsense characters that can also be prone to moments of extreme emotional vulnerability.

Additionally, Ritter also carries a decent resemblance to a younger Anjelica Huston. She is an actress with the looks, range and profile to slot into the part absolutely seamlessly and it is long overdue an actress of Ritter's talent gets a real crack at the big screen.
