Big News in Hollywood!
Get ready for a musical extravaganza! Jesse Eisenberg's highly anticipated follow-up to the Oscar-winning film "A Real Pain" just got even more exciting with the addition of Hollywood heavyweights.
New Faces in the Lineup
Joining the cast are powerhouse talents Halle Bailey, Havana Rose Liu, and the legendary Bernadette Peters, alongside Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti. Filming is already underway, having kicked off in April, and the excitement is palpable!
An Intriguing Plot
At the heart of this untitled musical comedy, Julianne Moore stars as a shy woman thrust into the limelight when she’s unexpectedly cast in a community theater production. As she loses herself in the role, she'll go to lengths that promise both humor and heart.
Musical Mastery!
Eisenberg is not just behind the camera; he’s also penned the original music and lyrics for the film's musical numbers. The talent doesn’t stop there—music supervision is in the capable hands of Steven Gizicki, known for his work on "La La Land." Plus, with Bill Sherman overseeing the music production and choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler of "Hamilton" fame, the musical elements are set to dazzle!
A Dream Team Production
Produced by Emma Stone’s Fruit Tree along with Topic Studios, this film marks a thrilling reunion for Eisenberg with both companies after his 2023 directorial debut "When You Finish Saving the World." With such a stellar production team, including Dave McCary and Ali Herting, expectations are soaring!
Following Oscar Glory
Eisenberg's previous film, "A Real Pain," not only received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, but also earned Kieran Culkin a prestigious Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Will this new project dazzle at the next awards season?
Exciting Collaborations Ahead
Negotiations for this project involved major players in the industry, including CAA Media Finance and WME Independent, ensuring it has all the backing needed for success.
With such an impressive cast and creative team, Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy is sure to be an unforgettable cinematic experience!
