Kirsten Dunst is truly a queen of the big screen, and she just might lose her head over it.

Dunst is set to star as French Queen Marie Antoinette for director Sofia Coppola, Variety reports. The story won’t end well for Dunst–Antoinette was famously beheaded a few years after the French Revolution began.

Jason Schwartzman (“Rushmore”) will play Dunst’s husband, King Louis XVI.

Coppola, who earlier this year won a screenplay Oscar for “Lost in Translation,” last directed Dunst in 1999’s “The Virgin Suicides.”
