Funnyman Jason Segel will be seen essaying the role of author David Foster Wallace in a new biopic titled "The End of the Tour".
The 33-year-old will team up with actor Jesse Eisenberg, who will play Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky, reports contactmusic.com.
The script of "The End of the Tour" is adapted from Lipsky's book "Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace".
The book talks about Lipsky's road trip with Wallace as he went across the US promoting his 1,100-page novel "Infinite Jest".
