The spotlights are on, and the stage is set! A24 has unveiled the brand-new trailer for Jesse Eisenberg’s intriguing musical drama, The Debut. The film stars Julianne Moore as a miserable housewife who, despite having minimal talent and virtually no experience, decides to audition for a stage play. In a bizarre twist of fate, she lands the role and soon finds herself under the watchful eye of the production’s director, played by Academy Award nominee Paul Giamatti.
The Debut has already made quite an impression on the festival circuit, earning rave reviews from critics when it closed the BFI London Film Festival festivities. And now, the film has secured a release date. A24 has announced that the film will hit theatres in the US on December 11, while fans in the UK will have to wait until January 15. But what exactly can audiences expect from this unusual theatrical adventure? There’s only one way to find out! Hit play on the trailer below, take your seats, and prepare for the show to begin!

Jesse Eisenberg wears several creative hats on this project, writing and directing the film while also composing the songs featured in the musical. He has assembled a sensational ensemble to bring his vision to life, too! Alongside the formidable pairing of Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti, the cast includes Halle Bailey, Jesse Eisenberg, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, Eldar Isgandarov, and Bernadette Peters. That’s quite a line-up for a theatrical spectacle!
