While Eisenberg is known for his roles in The Social Network, Zombieland, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the Now You See Me movies, he is now also doing work behind the camera as a director, writer, and producer. The latest film he has directed, written, and produced is A24's The Debut, starring Julianne Moore as a withdrawn woman who auditions for and lands the role in a musical, with the director of the production played by Paul Giamatti. The movie has been gaining Academy Awards buzz as it plays at various film festivals. After working together on The Debut, Deadline reports that Eisenberg and A24 are working on a television series together. This is the first television series that The Social Network star has ever directed, written, or produced, as he takes on all three responsibilities for this project. As part of his A24 deal, Netflix Chief Content Officer Peter Rice, who previously worked for Disney and Fox, is executive producing the show as well. While the series does not have a title yet, it is reportedly based on a short story written by Eisenberg about a young woman whose beliefs are challenged by new relationships and ideas. This builds on the filmmaker's previous tease about the story about exploring the beginning of culture wars through the lens of an 18-year-old young woman in the fall of 2002. More to come...
