After the success of his Oscar-nominated film "A Real Pain", Jesse Eisenberg returns to the director’s chair with a fresh, vibrant project that promises laughter, heart, and music.
Hollywood actor and filmmaker Jesse Eisenberg is back in action, and this time he’s bringing a musical comedy to life — starring none other than Oscar-winner Julianne Moore and veteran actor Paul Giamatti. This highly-anticipated film follows the critical acclaim of Eisenberg’s 2024 Oscar-nominated feature, A Real Pain, cementing his place not just as a talented actor but a visionary filmmaker.
The untitled film, currently in production as of April 2025, revolves around a shy woman (played by Julianne Moore) who unexpectedly lands a role in a quirky local community theater production. What follows is a chaotic yet hilarious journey as she is drawn deeper into the world of performance — all under the influence of a larger-than-life director, portrayed by Paul Giamatti.
According to Eisenberg, the movie is "completely joyful and unhinged," designed to celebrate the raw, unpredictable energy of community theater.
In a twist that adds depth to the creative process, Jesse Eisenberg is also composing original music for the film. His hands-on approach makes this project deeply personal — blending humor, emotion, and melody into what could be his most engaging work yet.
This marks his second collaboration with Julianne Moore, following their earlier project When You Finish Saving the World.
The film is produced under Fruit Tree, the production company co-founded by Emma Stone. With Stone’s team backing the film and a cast loaded with award-winning talent, expectations are sky-high.
Jesse Eisenberg fans have even more to look forward to. He’s also set to reprise his role as the quick-witted illusionist J. Daniel Atlas in the long-awaited sequel Now You See Me: Now You Don’t, hitting theaters on November 14, 2025.
With Eisenberg’s signature wit, a power-packed cast, and a musical twist, this upcoming film is shaping up to be one of 2025’s most buzzworthy releases. Whether you're a fan of heartfelt comedy, musicals, or simply love watching great actors do what they do best — this is one title to keep your eyes on.
Stay tuned for updates, trailers, and behind-the-scenes looks as the film moves closer to release!
