Jesse Eisenberg who memorably portrayed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network" talked to us during the film's DVD release. It's been months since the David Fincher flick opened, so Eisenberg discussed the blessing of making a movie about the formation of Facebook.

In this interview, we talked about:

• What interested him in making "The Social Network"
• Antagonists and protagonists of the film
• What David Fincher told his actors to do to make the film believable and real?
• He's got a new haircut!
• Working with the great ensemble
• Winning at Palm Springs International Film Festival
• Was he surprised with all the love surrounding "The Social Network" from all the award-giving bodies?
• Does he have a Facebook account?

Check out my interview with Armie Hammer for "Social Network" right here, and the real Winklevoss (or is it Winklevi?) twins speak about the film right here.

Here's more info on the film from Yahoo:

On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history, but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.
