He elaborated by pointing out he would probably be unrecognizable.
“In full makeup. In full body hair. No lines — I grunt, but no lines — and I’m so looking forward to this,” he added.
While the plot of the movie is still under wraps, a clue might be found in the brothers’ 2010 short “Sasquatch Birth Journal 2”, a four-minute film that garnered the duo a Sundance Film Festival award.
“Sasquatch fanatics since they were children, the Zellner brothers think of the Sasquatch as a friend but also acknowledge their ‘unhealthy, unrealistic desire to pet and cuddle wild animals,'” reads the description of the video, in which a female Sasquatch appears to give birth.

John Wayne classics such as The Searchers and Stagecoach saw his health deteriorating terribly in the early 1970s. After breaking a hip, Ford had to get used to a wheelchair and was moved from his Bel Air home to Palm Desert to be treated for cancer. In October 1972, the Screen Directors Guild paid tribute to him and in March the following year, the American Film Institute honoured the director with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Rambunctious and rough-textured in ways reminiscent of the independent filmmaking boom that had fully erupted out of New York City by the mid-late 2000s, “Funny Pages” is the debut directorial feature by Owen Kline, previously best known for co-starring in one such film from that era. In Noah Baumbach’s painfully semi-autobiographical “The Squid and the Whale,” about a middle-class New York family torn asunder by divorce, Kline played the 12-year-old brother of Jesse Eisenberg’s neurotic teen; his character’s compulsive habit of masturbating in public added to the film’s already-laudable cringe factor.
Variety, the Social Network star said that he will be covered in full body hair for the role, and that he won’t speak a single line of dialogue.“The next movie I’m doing is the Zellner Brothers’,” said Eisenberg. “They’re just these brilliant directors that I’ve wanted to work with for a long time, and I’m playing a Sasquatch.”He added: “In full makeup.

Jesse Eisenberg has been very particular with his choices as an actor in recent years. He always mixes bigger roles in high-profile films with appearances in quality indies.
John Wayne and John Ford collaborated on some of the Hollywood Golden Age's best-loved Westerns from She Wore a Yellow Ribbon to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Perhaps their most famous was 1956's The Searchers, which is on BBC Two this afternoon. The film saw Duke play a Civil War veteran spending years searching for his abducted niece, played by Natalie Wood.
Jesse Eisenberg is taking on an unexpected role.
Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the 28th Sarajevo Film Festival after screenings of his directorial debut When You Finish Saving the World, Jesse Eisenberg covered a lot of bases, from his introduction to acting as an anxious teenager to his dislike of the sitcom Friends (“My sister loves it, and we get into arguments all the time,” he said. “Because no one talks that way, and there’s not a group of six people that are all that good-looking and all that funny”). Eisenberg also expressed dismay at the response to his portrayal of Lex Luthor in the 2016 blockbuster Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. “I felt very personal about it,” he said. “The writer, Chris Terrio, is a very serious writer, and he’s a very emotional person. He thought a lot about my character, and I thought a lot about my character too. I talked with my acting coach about the character a lot, about his backstory with his father and his emotional life—and then people hate me.”
