WATCH: Jason Segel Plays Literary Genius David Foster Wallace in 'The End of the Tour'

The first trailer for The End of the Tour, starring Jason Segel as late literary genius David Foster Wallace and Jesse Eisenberg as Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky, has been released.
The film focuses on a five day interview Lipsky did with the author in 1996. Although the original story was never published, Lipsky wrote Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself several years after Wallace’s suicide, detailing their five day road trip. 
The film has been accumulating buzz since production began last year and Segel looks exactly like the author, which may be reason enough to at least check it out.
Watch the trailer below before it hits theaters July 31.
