Jesse Eisenberg Comments On The "Sophisticated" Themes In BATMAN v SUPERMAN
Jesse Eisenberg isn't really the kind of actor you'd expect to see in a superhero movie like Batman v Superman, but it seems what drew him in was screenwriter Chris Terrio. Hit the jump to read his thoughts on him and what makes this release different to others in the genre...
While everyone is getting excited over Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it's worth bearing in mind that we're also getting closer and closer to the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It feels like forever since we last got anything from the movie, but Jesse Eisenberg has at least shed some light on why we should all be counting down the days until it's released during an interview with We Got This Covered. Despite refusing to divulge anything about the plot, he did have this to say:
"Since everyone here is obviously interested in writing in some capacity, I’ll tell you that the man wrote the movie, Chris Terrio, is absolutely phenomenal. He also wrote Argo. He’s such a brilliant guy, so well read. He’s interested in very sophisticated topics and discussions. So in Batman V Superman, even though it’s a superhero movie, people who don’t necessarily see movies in that genre, like this crowd, will probably enjoy it. It discusses sophisticated and important themes."
It seems like Ben Affleck getting Terrio involved is what sold a lot of actors on this movie, including him! Without him, David Goyer would still be writing, and well, that's not a pleasant thought at all now, is it?
