Watch Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti in the trailer for Jesse Eisenberg’s The Debut

Watch the official trailer for THE DEBUT, written and directed by two-time Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg.

Starring Academy Award winner Julianne Moore and two-time Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti.

When Mona Friedman is cast in a bit part at a small community theater, she transforms from a shy, unassuming housewife into a zealous method actor willing to do anything to protect the artistic integrity of her marginal role—even if it means waging war against the show’s domineering director.

Alongside Halle Bailey, Jesse Eisenberg, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, Eldar Isgandarov, and Bernadette Peters.
