Emile Hirsch, Jesse Eisenberg and Paul Dano as Fred Masoudi, Sedgewick Bell and Martin Blythe in "The Emperor's Club" (2002)."Two 2010 films will have Eisenberg once again taking on approximations of real people, though the two new roles will offer new takes on that recurring career theme. In the Sundance flick "Holy Rollers", he plays a Hasidic youth pulled into a world of international ecstasy dealing, a story based on actual New Yorkers. Later in the year, he'll appear on screen as Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," which follows the creation and early years of the now ubiquitous site.
As Eisenberg explained to MTV News at Sundance, he sees a connection between the two new film roles in terms of being faithful both to the truth and to the scripts. "You can never really do something exactly," he said. "This 'Holy Rollers' movie is almost similar because it's inspired by true things and our characters are based on an amalgamation of a few things. To do this one, there was no resource we could go to. You just use your imagination in a different way". 
And you rely heavily on the script, as the 26-year-old explained in an earlier interview with MTV about "Social Network." "It's hard to look at interviews now with Zuckerberg, who has become the head of a big company and probably has people guiding him along the interview process, and then extrapolate what he might have been like in a dorm room at 19 with his buddies," he said. "You're always going to the script for guidance more than anything if you're playing a real person." Source: moviesblog.mtv.com
"Scripted by critical darling Aaron Sorkin, director extraordinaire Fincher’s second foray away from the darkness of his earlier work recounts the rise of online powerhouse Facebook, with Jesse Eisenberg starring as the site’s founder Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake as Napster mastermind Sean Parker, along with Rashida Jones (NBC’s Parks & Recreation) and Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus). Sorkin’s screenplay is an 
adaptation of Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal. 
James Franco, Danny McBride and Zooey Deschanel in "Your Highness" (2010).This new October 1 opening places The Social Network against two other notable flicks: Matt Reeves’s horror remake Let Me In, and David Gordon Green’s medieval comedy Your Highness, starring James Franco, Danny McBride, Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel".
