Opening this Friday is director Greg Mottolaâs new film âAdventurelandâ. Since Iâve already written about the movie a ton on the site, let me get right to the reason youâre here â my exclusive video interview with the star of the film, Jesse Eisenberg.
While many of you might only know Jesse from his great work in âThe Squid and the Whaleâ, I think thatâs about to change, as heâs currently filming a movie for Sony called âZombielandâ, and heâs wrapped production on a number of independent films.
What that means is, Jesseâs star is on the rise and heâs an actor you might like to learn about.
Anyway, during my extended interview we talked about not only making âAdventurelandâ and âZombielandâ, but how he preps for a movie and what itâs like to work for a writer/director. Itâs a great interview and one worth watching.
