Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg (A Real Pain), The Debut sees Julianne Moore play Mona, a housewife who finds herself cast in a minor role in a community theatre production. As Mona plunges herself into the role in the manner of a method actor, she clashes with the show's director (Paul Giamatti).
The film also stars Eisenberg along with Halle Bailey, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, Eldar Isgandarov and Bernadette Peters.
A release date has yet to be announced but you can check out the trailer and a pair of posters below.
The official synopsis reads:
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.
