Jesse Eisenberg‘s musical comedy film adds new talent to its star-studded cast.
Halle Bailey, Bernadette Peters, and Havana Rose Liu have signed on for Jesse‘s upcoming film, which will be produced by A24. Other stars in the project include Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Bonnie Milligan, Colton Ryan, Lilli Cooper, and Maulik Pancholy.
The movie will tell the story of “[A] shy woman [Moore] who is unexpectedly cast in a community theater musical production, going to extremes as she loses herself in the role,” according to Variety.
Jesse wrote the the lyrics and music for the film, which started production this month.
This will be Jesse‘s follow-up project to the film A Real Pain, which he wrote and directed. Kieran Culkin won Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie at the 2025 Oscars.
If you didn’t see, last month, Jesse was given another major honor for A Real Pain.
