A24 has dropped a new trailer for When You Finish Saving The World, the Jesse Eisenberg-directed drama that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The film will start to roll out into cinemas from January beginning in the US where it will debut on screens from the 20th of the month.
Julianne Moore and Finn Wolfhard star as a mother and son in the feature which Eisenberg also wrote, adapted from his audio drama of the same name.
The plot is as followed (from A24):
Evelyn (Julianne Moore) has devoted herself to helping people in hard times, but she struggles to connect with her son Ziggy (Finn Wolfhard), an aspiring internet star oblivious to the problems of the world.
As Evelyn attempts to become a parent figure to an unassuming teenager she meets at her shelter, and Ziggy fumbles through his pursuit of a brilliant and politically conscious young woman at his high school, this emotional comedy reveals a funny and sharply perceptive portrait of a mother and son who may seem at odds but who are more alike than either would care to admit.
No news on a UK release date but we’ll keep you posted.
