No..she's too plain looking.

Dunst is a great experienced actress who has comedy and drama in her performance. Sure, she is taller, not quiet her lookalike but she is beautiful too. I would believe her anguish and care for the character any day.
I respect Dunst enormously. I think the whole problem with this project, though, is (in addition to distilling Seberg's chaotic life down to two hours) thinking there could be an actress who could play both a starry-eyed 18-year-old bursting with health and vitality and a disillusioned, world-weary 41.
Probably it should be an HBO miniseries with two actresses. Or have the script concentrate on Seberg's arrival in OR departure from Hollywoodnot both.

Blake , Roberts and other young actresses would get the young crowd but they are so awful they put anyone above the age of 25 to sleep. Ryder has lost her spark and is not an ingenue anymore. A great actress but she just can't play a young teen anymore. Plus shes boring now, too much pouting and "I'm such a rebel misunderstood! " Attitude she appears to have. Yawn.
Joan was 17. (Some say younger some say a bit older) It doesn't work now to cast someone who's 30 to play a 16 year old like Luke perry or Gabrielle Cateris in the original 90210 Beverly Hills (it's re-run season on our ch11 at the moment) everyone was old looking! I digress
Scarlette Johannson is beautiful about 5'3 blonde and can act. Some don't think much of her acting but if you're trying to get a lookalike she's your gal!
But it shouldn't be that important but it helps certainly. Look at Jennifer love Hewitt playing Audrey Hepburn! No where near her beauty! And her figure was too voluptuous for audrey she maintained her slim 43 kg till her last days.
Then again Michelle Williams played Marilyn monroe and cute is not sexy.
I could go on but I'll get off topic! Lol

that would be AWESOME! She's talented and can pull of the pixie look, and while she is more exotic looking than Jean does have a bit of similarity. Not a lot but some. Everyone acts like Michelle Williams (who is a decent choice but KD is better) and that awful Emma Watson look just like her or are the "new" Jeans but no

Emily Browning would make a good Jean Seberg. That was my immediate reaction to seeing this picture:

(anyone who has seen A bout de souffle will understand)
That is, if a movie is made about her life within the next few years.
I love. I have loved. I will love.

and Natalie would?
Natalie is full of herself and has as much talent/expression as a wooden board. She couldnt pull off Jean's dirty blonde anyway. What makes you think KD wouldnt?

I don't know exactly in which year, but in the middle of the 90s I have read an article in an teen magazine abput it was planned that Jodie Foster played the role of Jean Seberg and that she would direct this movie. But it was never been realized. I don't think which actress could play Jean Seberg today, of course nobody who is older than 30 years of age.

I agree that Seberg has a most interesting life, but would be too afraid to see it if someone like Kirsten Dunst were to play her. Kirsten probably wouldn't even appreciate the role. And her voice is too unstable. Just an all around mess. I would rather they bleached Natalie Portman's hair blond, or something like that.
Anyone but Dunst.

None of those girls looks a wink like Jean, especially Emma and Blake (who is hailed as one of the worst actresses around).

If I were a casting director, my top choices would be Emma Roberts or Evan Rachel Wood. Blake Lively might be in the running.

The best choice would be Miranda Raison who stars in SPOOKS.

She'd be a better jean harlow..seriously

Scarlett Johansson would be perfect for the role she's petite, very pretty and a good actress.

WTHeck does her level of beauty have to do with anything?
You need to be as "beautiful" as much as Jean was to be a good ACTOR?
are you smoking something?

It irks me. It's just another commodification of someone from the past who is suddenly considered interesting by hipsters (for a moment anyway) Just like that Edie Sedgwick film.

Dunst is not nearly beautiful enough to play Seberg convincingly.

Kirsten is as ugly and untalented as Christina Hendricks is anorexic-looking
Get over it. Stop hating on people who are just cool to hate on.

Agree, must not be her! It would be the greatest casting error since Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble.

oh God, I hope not. What a tragedy for such a no-talent (not to mention fugly) actress to portray Miss Seberg.

i would love to see a bio-pic of jean seberg,just so long as it was well made,maybe dunst could pull it off.i read that dunst at first wanted to take the main role in the sylvia plath bio(the role went to paltrow),before turning her interest towards jean seberg,it concerns me that she doesnt take jeans story seriously.

I think Seberg's life would make a very interesting screenplay. However, Kirsten Dunst looks NOTHING like her, and she has none of her essence at all. I'd pick someone like Winona Ryder, if she wore blue contacts and sported blond hair (she has the more delicate features of Seberg, and is petite enough and actually still looks young enough), or perhaps a completely different new face. No one comes to mind who looks much like Seeberg, other than, as previously stated, possibly Ryder. Kate Bosworthmaybe, but I think that she is a boring actress.
