A24 has unveiled the first trailer for The Debut from writer/director Jesse Einsenberg (A Real Pain).

Einsenberg stars alongside Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti.

The Debut is an R-rated musical comedy centered on Mona Friedman (Moore), who when cast in a bit part at a small community theater, 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 (Giamatti).

The Debut reunites Eisenberg with Topic Studios and Fruit Tree, with whom he worked on A Real Pain, as well as Moore, who starred opposite Finn Wolfhard in Eisenberg’s Fruit Tree-produced, A24-released debut feature, When You Finish Saving the World.

The producers are Stone, Dave McCary, Ali Herting, and Eisenberg.
