Title: Jesse Eisenberg sues Liongate for False Advertisment on DVD Cover Post by: InformationGeek on December 01, 2011, 02:34:50 PM Kind of interesting news article I think. I wonder how many other movie covers have pictures of celebrities on them where they barely even appeared in the fim?

He'll probably drop the suit as soon as Lionsgate agrees to remove him from top billing on the cover.

Never a good indication of a movie's quality......

I don't even remember what the movie was! :bouncegiggle:

And what does Eisenberg give a f**k if he's on the cover of HELL CAMP? Little dweeb should be honored that anyone thinks enuff of this smug shmuck to do so.

There's something about him that annoys me. I wouldn't call him talentless. He didn't annoy me in Zombieland. I just think he doesn't have much range and in five year, maybe less, nobody will care. In that sense, yes, I think he should be thrilled with any exposure. |
