A24 reveals the trailer for Jesse Eisenberg's film The Debut, featuring Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti.

      A24 has unveiled a poster and trailer for The Debut, an upcoming comedy-drama by writer-director Jesse Eisenberg.

      Julianne Moore plays Mona, a reserved housewife who auditions for a role in a local community theater production. As she immerses herself in the character, she undergoes a transformation and finds herself clashing with the overbearing director, played by Paul Giamatti.

      In addition to Moore, Giamatti, and Eisenberg, the cast includes Halle Bailey, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, Eldar Isgandarov, and Bernadette Peters. You can watch the trailer below…

      When Mona Friedman is given a small role at a community theater, she evolves from a timid housewife into a passionate method actor, determined to safeguard the artistic vision of her minor part—even if it means going to battle against the strict director.

      The Debut will be released soon by A24.
