David Foster Wallace might not be as recognizable name here as he is in the States, but the late author is still respected as one of the best writers of the late 20th Century. The Spectacular Now’s James Ponsoldt has made The End Of The Tour, a film about a wide-ranging interview with the man around the release of his acclaimed novel Infinite Jest. And to prove it, here's the first trailer.
Jason Segel – who has won praise for his channelling of Wallace – and Jesse Eisenberg star in the film, which chronicles the five-day trip that Rolling Stone journalist David Lipsky took with Wallace in 1996 as the author embarked on his book tour. The result was a rambling, complicated, human conversation between the two that never actually made it to publication in the magazine. Fortunately, Lipsky wrote a memoir of the trip, Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace, which was adapted into a script by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Donald Margulies.
The film scored plaudits at Sundance and is now headed to US cinemas on July 31. We’ll have to see whether it makes it over here.
