After watching with Jesse Eisenberg essential portrays the same character over and over, has he finally broken the typecast wall with a very different performance in "The Social Network"?
He takes on an somewhat cold, almost sinster type of character (my opinion) and he has officially stepped into cinematic adulthood. Will he be able to sustain consistency? Only time will tell but Zombieland 2 is probably a step backwards....
Now if we can only get Jay Baruchel to move in that direction with hopes that he'll get some kind of throat surgery or start smoking to get rid of his nasaly like voice. HOWEVER, voice included, he might have made an excellent choice for the re-vamped Spider-Man, especially with his lean musclature. He could go from scrawny to brawny with that film. Baruchel is the epitome of scrawny which I wonder if this equates to how he is cast in films. If he weren't associated with filmmaker Judd Apatow, I'm not sure he'd be cast as often. I suggest he get in good with another filmmaker, like an Eli Roth as well and go for some horror comedy or just better comedy. Pack on some muscle and a five o'clock shadow and then take the opposite of what's offered to you, like if the "21 Jump Street" remake has a bit of a serious edge, Jay could fit in nicely with his baby face looks.
After "Star Trek, Anton Yelchin is on a balancing act where he has the chance to play mature and baby face. If the "Fright Night" remake is a HUGE Hit along with a fail proof "Smurfs". I can see him with a career like Tobey Maguire (which is not bad).
Only time will tell.
