Coming off his acclaimed “A Real Pain,” Jesse Eisenberg is set to write and direct a musical as his next film. The untitled project will star acting heavyweights Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti (via Deadline).
The film, taking place in “the high-stakes world of this community theater,” follows a shy woman who is unexpectedly cast in a local production of an original musical. Production is set to begin in early 2025.
This will be Eisenberg’s third film as a director, following “When You Finish Saving the World,” and “A Real Pain” — the latter has been getting loads of awards buzz and is well on its way to garnering a best picture Oscar nomination.
