Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #145. James Ponsoldt’s The End of the Tour

Published on February 10, 2014

The End of the Tour

Director: James Ponsoldt
Writers: Donald Margulies
Producers: James Dahl, Matt DeRoss, David Kanter
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Jason Segel, Jesse Eisenberg

The success of The Spectacular Now created quite a flurry of new projects for James Ponsoldt, including a highly anticipated biopic on Hilary Rodham Clinton and several other projects. But it looks as if his next film will be this, set to film this spring with recent announcements that Jason Segel would star as the Infinite Jest author alongside Jesse Eisenberg. We’re hoping this wraps up in time for a release at the end of the year.

Gist: A magazine reporter recounts his travels and conversations with author David Foster Wallace during a promotional book tour.. br>

Release Date: While we’re hoping to see this out at the end of 2014 and at a major film fest, but there’s a distinct possibility that Ponsoldt could wait to premiere at Sundance 2015.
