Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard Will Star in Jesse Eisenberg's Directorial Debut WHEN YOU FINISH SAVING THE WORLD
Actor Jesse Eisenberg is making his directorial debut with a comedy-drama titled When You Finish Saving The World. Julianne Moore is set to star in the film alongside Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard. Eisenberg wrote the script for the film, which is inspired by Eisenberg’s upcoming Audible Original of the same name. Also, Emma Stone is producing the project.
The film will tell a mother and son story, and it will have a slightly different focus than the audiobook. But here is the information that has been shared for the audiobook:
Set over three decades, the six-part audio show will follow three members of a family: Nathan, a father learning to connect with his newborn son; Rachel, a young college student seeking to find her place in a relationship and in life; and Ziggy, a teenager hoping to figure out where he came from, and where he’s headed. Wolfhard will also voice the show and Kaitlyn Dever is in talks to join.
There are no details on how the story will be presented in the movie. There’s a lot of solid talent attached to this project, so it might be something to look out for. It’s cool to see Eisenberg make a move into directing. It will be interesting to see if he has a talent for it.
