At first she wonders if she\u2019s gotten in over her head, but eventually she learns to tap into the repressive life she faces at home to bring out a performance that no one expected. Yes, this the premise of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/the-simpsons-classic-a-streetcar-named-marge-1798172291\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">classic Simpsons episode \u201cA Streetcar Named Marge,\u201d<\/a> but it\u2019s also the premise we\u2019ve gleaned from the first trailer for Jesse Eisenberg\u2019s third directorial effort, The Debut. In this version, it\u2019s Julianne Moore who plays the repressed housewife who is able to tap into something more explosive by the best director in New Jersey community theater, played here by Paul Giamatti.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Based at least on the first trailer and what we know about them as actors, Moore and Giamatti feel like a fairly inspired combination. Elsewhere, the film also stars Eisenberg (who also wrote the screenplay), Halle Bailey, Cara Buono, Craig Bierko, and Eldar Isgandarov. Bernadette Peters is also named in a press release, though she\u2019s nowhere to be found in the trailer. The Debut doesn\u2019t have a public release date yet, but it is expected in theaters later this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A stay at home mom auditions for a community theater production on a lark.
