With his directorial debut out this year, it seems Jesse Eisenberg is eager to get back behind the camera: here are the first details.
Jesse Eisenberg may be best known as an actor in films like
The Social Network and
Zombieland, but now he’s carving out a career behind the scenes.
His directorial debut,
When You Finish Saving the World, for which he also wrote the script, is due to be released this year. And already he’s set his next project as well
His new film is called
A Real Pain, which will trace the story of two brothers as they travel to Poland to learn about their grandmother’s experiences during the Holocaust.
Eisenberg will star alongside Kieran Culkin. It is due to begin filming in Warsaw in March. We’re guessing a release date in 2023 is likely, but we’ll keep you posted on that.
