A24 released a second trailer for The Debut on November 10. Jesse Eisenberg wrote and directed the comedy, which stars Julianne Moore and Paul Giamatti and opens in theaters December 11.
Moore plays Mona Friedman, a New Jersey woman who lands a small role in a community theater musical. She throws herself into the part and soon clashes with the show’s exacting director, Jerry, played by Giamatti. Halle Bailey and Eisenberg also appear.
Eisenberg wrote the music and lyrics for the show within the film. The Debut had its New York premiere in the Spotlight section of the 64th New York Film Festival.
