Aaron Sorkin says money deterred Jesse Eisenberg from returning as Zuckerberg
Original: Aaron Sorkin says money was a ‘disincentive’ for Jesse Eisenberg to return as Mark Zuckerberg: ‘It’s infuriating’
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin says the money offered to Jesse Eisenberg was a disincentive for the actor to reprise his role as Mark Zuckerberg in a follow-up to The Social Network. Sorkin called the situation infuriating, suggesting the financial terms discouraged Eisenberg from returning despite interest in continuing the story of the Facebook founder.
Why now: Sorkin's blunt criticism of the financial terms blocking Eisenberg's return is a fresh, quotable remark about a high-profile potential sequel.
