Amazon Studios has released the official trailer for their upcoming political thriller film Seberg, starring Kristen Stewart as the late actress Jean Seberg. The film had its world premiere at the 2019 Venice Film Festival last August and will have its theatrical release in December 13.
The film co-stars Vince Vaughn, Jack O’Connell, Anthony Mackie, Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz, Cornelius Smith Jr., Tobias Truvillion, Colm Meaney, Stephen Root and Yvan Atta.. Benedict Andrews is directing from a script by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse.
The story centers on attempts by the FBI to discredit Seberg through its Cointelpro program in retaliation for her support of the Black Panther Party. Those efforts included creating a false story in 1970 that the child Seberg was carrying was not fathered by her husband, but by civil rights activist Hakim Jamal (Mackie).
Seberg acted in dozens of films including “Saint Joan,” “Bonjour Tristesse,” “Breathless,” and “The Mouse That Roared.” She died in 1979 in France, with authorities ruling her death a suicide.
Producers are Fred Berger and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Automatik, alongside Kate Garwood, Stephen Hopkins and Bradley Pilz.
