Finally! A film about social networking
It had to happen. Just when you thought vampires would rule the movie screens forever, along comes a film about something just as ubiquitous as vampires – social networking.
The Social Network is a comedy-drama directed by David Fincher about the founding of Facebook. The cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Brenda Song, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara and Armie Hammer.
It was written by Aaron Sorkin and adapted from Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal.
Unfortunately, none of the Facebook staff, including founder Mark Zuckerberg, will be involved with the project. However, one of the co-founders, Eduardo Saverin, was a consultant for Mezrich’s book.
Interesting cast, interesting topic. Watch the trailer here:
