Jesse Eisenberg of Zombieland fame sat down with Total Film to discuss his character Lex Luthor in the upcoming Dawn of Justice. The actor mentions screenwriter Chris Terrio, who helped him in develop his villain role:
"There are some indications of how the character should behave based on the script, and then an actor makes it his or her own."

I can only say I've been asked to play an interesting role. A complicated, challenging person."
