ShortList quizzes Jesse Eisenberg
We meet the man from The Social Network
People are talking up David Fincher's The Social Network as the Citizen Kane for a new generation. Which makes its star Jesse Eisenberg the new Orson Welles. No pressure, then.
What with geeks being very much the flavour of the month, to play the world's most lauded poindexter puts Eisenberg right at the epicentre of the zeitgeist in playing Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook and subject of a litany of lawsuits all grasping at the billions the site is now worth.
The geeks, it seems, have already beaten the meek in inheriting the earth. Well, the virtual one, at least.
