Actress Kirsten Dunst Accuses Media of ‘Forcing Us to Choose a Side’ Ahead of Movie About U.S. Civil War – By Zachary Leeman (Mediaite) / April 3, 2024
Academy Award-nominated actress Kirsten Dunst is accusing the media of stoking U.S. divisions and forcing people to “choose a side” ahead of the release of her film entitled Civil War.
Civil War, from acclaimed writer/director Alex Garland, takes place in a United States barreling towards another Civil War, with separatist armies in California and Texas among other fractured pieces of the country as multiple states are seceding. Dunst plays Lee, one in a group of journalists caught up in the escalating chaos. The film releases on April 12 from A24.
The film previously premiered at South by Southwest and critics have been drawing comparisons between the dystopian world in the movie and our own modern political divisions headed into a presidential election.
