Jesse Eisenberg, nominated for the 2010 Oscars for his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in 'The Social Network,' attempted to meet Zuckerberg before filming. He expressed a desire for deeper research, emphasizing the importance of understanding the real person behind the character. However, upon reaching this decision, a producer advised him against it, citing legal concerns from Sony's lawyers. Despite this setback, the film was a substantial success, both financially and critically, capturing the complexities surrounding Facebook's creation and its key figures.
I just wanted to be in a room with him, just to see what the feeling is like. It just seemed like the bare minimum of research.
Do not go there. He was telling me this on behalf of Sony's lawyers. He was telling me, 'you can't do that for a variety of legal reasons.'
