Jesse Eisenberg has celebrated his Jewish roots and revealed that his next project will be a television series, after he presented his latest directorial effort, The Debut, at the BFI London Film Festival.
The actor-turned-director, best known for his starring roles in The Social Network and the Now You See Me franchise, discussed his latest film at a Screen Talk event ahead of its UK premiere on Sunday night.
Starring Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti, The Debut follows Mona Friedman, a woman in her sixties long overlooked by her family and friends, who finds both acclaim and meaning through a role in a local amateur musical.
Halle Bailey also features in the cast, alongside Eisenberg himself, who takes a supporting role.
