According to Variety, Vince Vaughn has come on board the independent political thriller "Against All Enemies," starring Kristen Stewart as Jean Seberg.
Jack O'Connell, Anthony Mackie, Margaret Qualley, Zazie Beetz and Colm Meaney are also starring in the film directed by Benedict Andrews. The script is written 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 a member of the Black Panther Party.
Vaughn is set to play Carl Kowalski, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation. Mackie will portray a civil rights activist, and O'Connell has been cast as an FBI agent assigned to surveil the actress.
Vaughn began acting in the late 1980s, appearing in minor television roles before attaining wider recognition with the 1996 comedy-drama film Swingers. He has appeared in a number of films in the 1990s, including the sports film Rudy, the sci-fi adventure dinosaur film The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and the drama-thriller Return to Paradise.
Other than his dramatic role in The Cell, in the 2000s he acted in several comedies, including Old School, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Wedding Crashers, The Break-Up, Fred Claus, and Four Christmases. He continued his comedic roles in the 2010s with The Dilemma, The Watch, and The Internship. In 2015, he starred as Frank Semyon in the second season of the HBO anthology crime drama television series TRUE DETECTIVE alongside Colin Farrell, Taylor Kitsch and Rachel McAdams.
