Kristen rumored to be cast to play the lead role in the biographical thriller "Against All Enemies"
Just when it seemed like the days when Kristen would star in multiple feature-length films in a given year were over, it is rumored that she will play the lead role in Against All Enemies, where she portrays Jean Seberg, the iconic Hollywood actress who became the target of the FBI because of her involvement in the civil rights movement of the late '60s, more specifically, her support of the NAACP and the Black Panther Party:

For those of her fans who wanted her to star in a thriller, myself included, this could be a godsend, in terms of giving her the chance to churn out a riveting performance, as well as a role which has the potential to be Oscar worthy if done right.
While the director of "Against All Enemies", Benedict Andrews, is a relative unknown in Hollywood circles, his ability to navigate difficult subject matter and effectively present it on the big screen is clearly evident in his feature film directorial debut "Una" starring Rooney Mara. As far as the storyline, I believe the screenplay is in capable hands as this will be the third time where Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse have collaborated on a script destined for production, the first and second times contributing their writing skill to the screenplays for "Frankie & Alice" and "Race", both of which were biographical dramas.
