The Trailer to Jesse Eisenberg’s New Film When You Finish Saving The World Is Here
A24 is back with more coming-of-age stories. The first trailer for the mother-son dramedy, When You Finish Saving The World has arrived.
The film, When You Finish Saving The World, is both written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network). The Academy Award nominee recruited Academy Award-winning actress Julianne Moore (Still Alice) to star opposite Stranger Things alum Finn Wolfhard.
The film follows “Evelyn (Moore) and her oblivious son Ziggy (Wolfhard) seek out replacements for each other as Evelyn desperately tries to parent an unassuming teenager at her shelter, while Ziggy fumbles through his pursuit of a brilliant young woman at school.”
Apart from Wolfhard and Moore’s dynamic performances, the film’s stacked cast features Alisha Boe (Do Revenge), Jay O. Sanders (Bardo), Billy Bryk (Ghostbusters: Afterlife), and Eleonore Hendricks (The Mountain). Ali Herting, Dave McCary, and Emma Stone served as the film’s producers.

The actor-turned-director expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to direct, stating, “It’s kind of taken a bit of anxiety off me as an actor.” He continues, “And having directed a movie, just kind of relieving myself and puncturing the mystique of the whole process of it and the artifice of it allows me to think about it in more practical terms. So maybe I wish I would have done that sooner.”
