Jesse Eisenberg will play a Sasquatch in an undisclosed project for the Zellner Brothers. 'I'm playing a Sasquatch. In full makeup. In full body hair. No lines — I grunt, but no lines — and I'm so looking forward to this.'
Jesse Eisenberg is set to play a Sasquatch in a new live-action film from the Zellner Brothers. Eisenberg is best known for playing narcissistic billionaires, such as his take on Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, narcissistic soon-to-be-billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, and neurotic everymen in films like the Zombieland series and The End of the Tour. The actor is also an accomplished playwright and has recently branched out into directing.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Also coming from the world of Sundance are The Zellner Brothers, who have mostly stuck to writing and directing small indie affair. Their last film, a subversion of westerns and the "maiden in distress" narrative, called Damsel, starred Robert Pattinson and one of his signature weird accents.
"The next movie I'm doing is the Zellner Brothers'. They're just these brilliant directors that I've wanted to work with for a long time, and I'm playing a Sasquatch. In full makeup. In full body hair. No lines — I grunt, but no lines — and I'm so looking forward to this." While this seems like a left-field choice for Eisenberg, it's definitely in the Zellner Brothers' wheelhouse. The Brothers have a longtime love of the elusive ape-like cryptid. In 2011, Sundance screened the duo's short film Sasquatch Birth Journal 2, which shows Bigfoot slowly giving birth in a tree before washing their baby off in a stream.
There's no word yet on further plot details for the project, or whether the character could actually be a part of The Zellner Bro's upcoming sci-fi film Alpha Gang, which stars Jon Hamm, Mackenzie Davis, and Steven Yeun. Regardless of where Eisenberg's Sasquatch appears, it's an interesting departure for the actor.
