Sometimes, the biggest life lessons are the ones learned by other people. For someone desperate to earn the fame and recognition they rightly deserve, it can serve as an important revelation to see an ordinary person have fame thrust upon them. So goes the story of David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg), a young novelist and writer for Rolling Stone magazine, who spent five days with David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) over the course of his book tour. Lipsky wanted to have everything that Wallace had, but when Wallace was faced with the news that his novel had become a New York Times bestseller, his life was set to change forever.

'The End of the Tour' is an upcoming adaptation of David Lipsky's 2010 book, 'Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace'. The film is directed by James Ponsoldt ('The Spectacular Now') with a screenplay adapted by Donald Margulies ('Dinner With Friends'). The film was announced back in December 2013, with principle photography beginning on 19th February 2014 in Michigan, and continuing over the course of five weeks. The film is set for a limited release in the US on 31st July, 2015.
