Idris Elba and Michael Cera are already on board the project, which adapts Molly Bloom's memoir "Molly's Game: From Hollywood's Elite to Wall Street's Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker", according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Sorkin has also written the script.
Chastain is starring as the film's title character, a skier who, after her Olympic dreams are dashed, heads to Los Angeles and becomes a cocktail waitress.
She, however, finds success as an organiser of underground poker games for the Hollywood elite.
