In the new trailer for Amazon Studios’ Seberg, beloved Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart stars as beloved Hollywood actress Jean Seberg as she faces down the FBI in a COINTELPRO investigation.

In the late Sixties, Seberg was best known for starring as the American love interest in French New Wave films, most famously in Breathless.

Seberg is directed by Benedict Andrews, from a script by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel. Alongside Stewart, the film stars Jack O’Connell, Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz, Vince Vaughn and Anthony Mackie. A release date for the film hasn’t been announced yet, but the trailer teases that it will be “coming soon” to select theaters.
