Jason Segel & Jesse Eisenberg Talk The End of the Tour and Method Acting

James Ponsoldt’s (Smashed and The Spectacular Now) fantastic new movie The End of the Tour is now playing in select theaters. Based on a true story, the film follows Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and author David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) on the closing days of the book tour of Infinite Jest, the novel that made Wallace a literary sensation. Trust me, if you want to see two actors at the top of their game, seek this film out. The End of the Tour also stars Anna Chlumsky, Joan Cusack, Mamie Gummer, and Mickey Sumner. At the Los Angeles press day I spoke with Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg. They talked about how their acting process has changed over the years, their thoughts on method acting and the benefits of making the movie with a small group of people. You can also watch as I try and get them to play “Save or Kill.” Again, I strongly recommend seeking this film out if it’s playing near you. It’s absolutely worth your time and money.
