Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy The Debut has been set as the closing film of this year's BFI London Film Festival in October. The movie stars Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey and Havana Rose Liu. It will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September before making its UK debut at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall on October 18. Eisenberg, who directed the film, joked about bringing his latest work to London, saying he was both 'honored and honoured.' The announcement was made alongside the cast members. The Debut marks Eisenberg's return to filmmaking with a musical comedy, a departure from his earlier dramatic work.
