Overview
- Eisenberg told the Karlovy Vary Film Festival on Sunday that he will not emigrate even though he was granted Polish citizenship last year and disagrees with President Trump’s politics.
- He said he feels a responsibility to remain in New York to help people who are struggling and called his family’s planned volunteer trip to Ukraine a way to put that duty into practice.
- Eisenberg confirmed he declined to reprise his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in Aaron Sorkin’s upcoming sequel because he no longer wants to be associated with the character.
- He stressed that his new movie The Debut, due in U.S. theaters on Dec. 3 from A24, was shot on film to keep an ‘analog’ feel and said A24’s recently announced research partnership with Google’s DeepMind does not affect that production.
- The comments highlight a shift in Eisenberg’s career from an uneven directorial debut to recent acclaim and place his decision to stay in the U.S. in contrast with several other celebrities who chose to leave after the 2024 election.
