It happens all the time. Little movies come out that feature now big-name stars who were nobody upon filming, and all of a sudden said star is pissed about one thing or another. Such is the case with Jesse Eisenberg, who’s actually suing Lionsgate over how he’s represented in the marketing for a flick called Camp Hell.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Eisenberg has filed a lawsuit against Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment for allegedly turning his less-than-five-minute cameo in the horror flick Camp Hell into an above-the-title star turn. The actor is using the Los Angeles Superior Court to make a point. According to the complaint “Eisenberg is bringing this lawsuit in order to warn his fans and the public that, contrary to the manner in which Defendants are advertising the film, Eisenberg is not the star of and does not appear in a prominent role in Camp Hell.”

Eisenberg is demanding $3 million in damages, more than the budget of the film. Sure, Jesse. We’re sure you’re just so damaged.
