Jason Segel has been roped in to play award-winning American novelist David Foster Wallace in a new biopic, 'The End of the Tour'.

According to The Wrap, the film revolves around the late author's extended interview with reporter David Lipsky, who will be played by Jesse Eisenberg, the New York Daily News reported.

The comic has, however, failed to receive the support from fans of Wallace, who committee suicide in 2008.
