The Academy Award-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg is suing a film company for false advertising about his involvement.

Mr Eisenberg can be seen for less than five minutes on screen in the horror film Camp Hell. He filmed his scenes in just one day and claims he was not paid well for the work.

He filmed it four years ago, before he became a globally-sought star for his turn as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network.

But people planning to buy the DVD would assume he also starred in the horror film, because his face is plastered over the marketing campaign.
