In 2012, he will star alongside Melissa Leo in ''Why Stop Now'', a drama about a drug addict mother and her piano prodigy son and in the romantic comedy ''Nero Fiddled''. Also in 2012, he filed a $3 million dollar lawsuit claiming he was exploited by the producers of the direct-to-DVD movie, ''Camp Hell''. According to the lawsuit, in 2007 Eisenberg agreed to appear in ''Camp Hell'' as a favor to his friends. He was on set for only one day of filming, and logged only a few minutes of total screen time. Because he was only minimally involved in the movie, he was surprised to see that his face was prominently featured on the cover of the DVD, implying that he starred in the film. His lawsuit asserts various California law causes of action, including claims for unfair business practices and publicity rights.
