Jesse Eisenberg, who was already an established Hollywood actor with notable films like The Social Network, the Now You See Me trilogy, Batman v Superman, and more, surprised moviegoers when he stepped behind the camera to write and direct the critically acclaimed gem A Real Pain - a film that even earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay at the 97th Academy Awards. Now, the 41-year-old is gearing up for his next venture, and fans just got some exciting new details.
Jesse Eisenberg’s next film will be a musical comedy for A24. The untitled project follows a woman who gets cast in a community theater musical, only to completely lose herself in the role. Starring Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey, Colton Ryan, Havana Rose Liu, and Bernadette Peters, the film began production in April. The news has moviegoers buzzing with excitement, eager to see what Eisenberg has up his sleeve after the success of A Real Pain.
