The two extraordinary people find themselves on a journey that is both moving as it is unforgettable.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, The Social Network actor describes the experience of filming this movie with his co-star, "It reminds me of the first movie I ever did, Roger Dodger - that good feeling, that camaraderie. We were in one of the coldest cities in America during one of their coldest winters on record, and I'll remember this experience with that same fondness. A lot of that had to do with working with Jason."

In an interview with First Showing, The Muppets screenwriter describes the relationship between Lipsky and Wallace, "It's like this weird tennis match going on between Lipsky and David Foster Wallace where they need each other to maintain the volley, which is all David Foster Wallace wants. He just wants to volley a little bit. And David Lipsky wants to level the winning blow. I'm making the tennis analogy because he loved tennis so much. But David Foster Wallace is sitting there, thinking, "I'm a fucking better tennis player than you. You can hit the ball as hard as you want and I'll return it, but I'm tired. I just came out here to volley.""

The End of the Tour is available on Blu-ray and DVD November 3.
