A couple weeks back, Aaron Sorkin relayed the info that Jesse Eisenberg actually turned down the opportunity to reprise his role in The Social Reckoning. And now, Eisenberg is confirming the report.
“It’s an honor to speak to Aaron in any capacity, because he’s so articulate and charming and so bright,” Eisenberg told Variety at Sunday’s Los Angeles premiere of “Minions & Monsters.” “We talked about doing the movie for several days. The way Aaron speaks, he speaks so wonderfully, as he writes that, in a way, if you’re not going to do something with him, it feels almost like you’re letting down America.”
He added, “I just told him I’m moving in different directions in my life, and you know, what he said sums it up nicely. I don’t want to be associated with that character, but all of my reasons for not wanting to do the movie have nothing to do with how wonderful the movie is, and will be, and I’m sure is already.”
