Against All Enemies
Another highly anticipated sophomore feature in our countdown, Benedict Andrews expands the size of canvas moving from the duet in Una to the meatier Against All Enemies – which went into production May of this year. Jack O’Connell, with Kristen Stewart taking on big screen duties of the iconic Jean Seberg. Zazie Beetz, Vince Vaughn, Margaret Qualley, Stephen Root, Anthony Mackie with cinematographer Rachel Morrison onboard.
Gist: Based on the screenplay by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, this centers on an ambitious young F.B.I. Agent named Jack Solomon (O’Connell) and the attempts by the FBI to discredit iconic actress Jean Seberg (Stewart) 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 a member of the Black Panther Party. Mackie will portray a civil rights activist. Vaughn will play Carl Kowalski, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation.
Release Date/Prediction: With Sundance not adding this item to their line-up means this is an early contender for a showing in Cannes where Kristin Stewart has red carpet clout.
