Benedict Andrews directs the thriller that centers on the American actress who spent half her life in France. In the late 1960s, she was targeted by Hoover\u2019s illegal FBI surveillance program COINTELPRO. Because of her political and romantic involvement with civil rights activist Hakim Jamal (played by Anthony Mackie in the film), she was also a target of the FBI\u2019s attempts to disrupt, discredit and expose the Black Power movement. Seberg, who was born 81 years ago today, died at the age of 40 in what was deemed a probable suicide.<\/p>\n
The powerful trailer packs in glimpses of how Seberg responded to being that New Wave darling (\u201cThey fell in love with the character, they get me instead\u201d) and moved on to become an activist who was \u201cpushed too hard\u201d by the FBI. Says Stewart as Seberg, \u201cTo defame somebody who speaks out against their government is a type of persecution.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Stewart and I spoke ahead of the Venice Film Festival out-of-competition premiere in August, she shared her thoughts on Seberg the woman and how her views would be accepted or not today. \u201cJean currently would probably have more of a crew to substantiate these ideas. I think that now the political climate doesn\u2019t leave much room for middle ground, so I\u2019d like to say she would fare better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel wrote the script for the film which also stars Jack O\u2019Connell, Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz and Vince Vaughn.<\/p>\n
Producers are Fred Berger and Brian Kavanaugh Jones of Automatik, Marina Acton, Alan Ritchson, Kate Garwood, Stephen Hopkins and Brad Pilz.<\/p>\n
