Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Social Network (2010): 2 lines

theme (character template) · through Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), which they were tied to as offered Jimmy Olsen (declined): The Social Network ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the maker said so). Snyder's reported reasoning: the modern-day Lex Luthor would be Mark Zuckerberg.
“yeah, the modern day Lex Luthor would be Mark Zuckerberg.”

Gone Girl (2014): 1 line

people (led to casting) · through Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), which they were tied to as offered Jimmy Olsen (declined): Gone Girl ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the host's read). While making Gone Girl, Affleck reportedly joked to his agent that he needed a heroic-chin movie after the evil-chin one.
“the joke was the chin things in the script, he calls up his agent, while making Gone Girl, and says, like, I'm doing the evil chin movie now, you got to find me a heroic chin movie.”

Max Landis: 1 line

people (performance model) · through Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), which they were tied to as offered Jimmy Olsen (declined): Max Landis ⇒ Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (the host's read). David's pet theory is that Eisenberg chose to play Max Landis as Lex Luthor.
“It also feels like he chose to play Max Landis more than he chose to play.”

“a performance that kind of feels like for the 2010s on, like, the seismic shift of, like, fucking Pacino and De Niro landing with their anti-heroes in the early 70s.”
