Jessica Capshaw

Minority Report

Jessica's Role

In Jessica's first appearance on the big screen since "Valentine", she makes a celebratory return with three scenes in the motion picture, including two scenes with lines.  Jessica plays the role of Evanna, the pilot and tactical support for the Precrime Unit.  She is seen early in the film in Spielberg's riveting opening sequence of the Precrime Unit making an arrest just before the crime is committed.  The franticness of the situation is amplified by Spielberg's direction, so look and listen carefully for Jessica's barbs with John Anderton, the character played by Tom Cruise.  Her second scene is for the hunt of the now-fugitive John Anderton in a rooming house in the slums of 2054 Washington D.C.   She has several close-ups in the futuristic helicopter as she provides tactical information to her fellow officers.  She is in the background in her last scene near the end of the film.
