Here’s a trailer for the next movie that Jesse Eisenberg–the actor who played Mark Zuckerberg in the Oscar-nominated film “The Social Network”–stars in. It’s actually animated and about a Minnesota macaw who heads for Rio. There is apparently no drunken coding into the night or stock cramdowns or lifting of really good ideas from the muscled elite.

It’s just a post on the popular entertainment blog “Deadline Hollywood.” But it’s a clear indication the makers of the movie about the origins of Facebook are gunning for maximum attention and Oscar buzz with only a few weeks to go before its debut.
