Jesse Eisenberg to Direct His First Feature, ‘When You Finish Saving the World’

Currently on screen in the streaming releases “Resistance” and “Vivarium,” Jesse Eisenberg will go behind the camera for his next project, a family dramedy called “When You Finish Saving the World.” Eisenberg wrote the screenplay and will direct the film, which is based on his Audible Originals audiobook of the same name, due later this year.

Taking place over 30 years and starring fellow MOT Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”) and Julianne Moore, the movie follows a new father, a college student and a teenager, all members of the same family.

Emma Stone, who started alongside Eisenberg in “Zombieland” and its sequel, will produce along with Moore and Dave McCary.
