A24 has boarded Jesse Eisenberg’s next film, an untitled musical that he wrote and will direct starring Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti.

It follows “a shy woman (Moore) who is unexpectedly cast in a community theater musical production, going to extremes as she loses herself in the role.”

Newly announced cast for the film include Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid), Havana Rose Liu (Lurker), and Bernadette Peters (Mozart in the Jungle) among the newcomers to the cast.

Bonnie Milligan, Colton Ryan, Lilli Cooper, and Maulik Pancholy round out the cast.

Fruit Tree’s Emma Stone, Dave McCary and Ali Herting will produce, with Topic Studios serving as executive producers.

In addition to writing and directing, Eisenberg wrote the original music and lyrics for the new film’s musical, with music supervisor Steven Gizicki (AComplete Unknown) and executive music producer Bill Sherman (In The Heights), choreography by Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton), and cinematography by Drew Daniels (Anora).
