The first poster for David Fincher’s The Social Network has been released and it looks great. But with it being Fincher related, is that any surprise? While some might doubt his ability to bring the story of Mark Zuckerberg (the founder of Facebook) to the big screen, I think Fincher is an amazing filmmaker who has directed two of my favorite movies (Fight Club, Zodiac). What I’m trying to say is…I cannot wait till October 1st.
With the poster arriving today, it probably means a trailer is about to be released. We’ll post that as soon as it’s online. Hit the jump for more info on the movie and the high-res poster:
The Social Network stars Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg, and Andrew Garfield and is based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires, which about the creation of Facebook. Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg who created Facebook in his sophomore year at Harvard in 2004; Timberlake plays Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster and Facebook’s founding President; and Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin, Facebook co-founder who had a falling out with Zuckerberg over money. The script was written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, Sports Night, The American President).
Finally, the teaser site for has launched: www.TheSocialNetwork-Movie.com

hey I like Fincher too — I just wish he wasn't so f**king inconsistent. he makes a good movie, then a bad one.. fortunately for us, last one was terrible (Benjamin Gump) so this one should be good
What terrible movies? Alien 3 was not very good but if you know anything about the history of that film, Fincher gets a pass. The Game is incredibly underrated and I'd stack Panic Room against any thriller of the last 15 years. I would not call Benjamin Button terrible…I'd use “underwhelming”. Seven, Fight Club, and Zodiac are undeniable classics.
Benjamin Button has held up remarkably well since its release. Once the initial comparison to Forrest Gump wore off (which, at this point, feels a little like comparing Zodiac to Seven – similar stories, but thematically and tonally completely different), I discovered a very resonant, deeply felt meditation on mortality and living in the moment. It's got its flaws, to be sure, but they're the kind of flaws I can live with – entirely superficial. Everything that mattered was there.
Diametrically, Fight Club has everything right on the surface, but fundamental issues that are way off – glorifying the anarchy, and more specifically Tyler (that is, Brad Pitt), all the way 'til the end – which is why, much as I quite like the film, it isn't as resonant as Fincher's next three films. Panic Room in particular is so much better than it's usually given credit for – a perfectly-wrought thriller that uses aesthetics as often as plot twists to put you on the edge of your seat, with unexpected, Antonionian depictions of space.
The one Fincher film that doesn't work for me is The Game; the ending is just so disingenuous as to nullify the greatness that preceded it. There's a chance it's accidentally brilliant if you look at it the right way, but I don't think the reading required for that is inherent in the text. Been awhile since I've seen it, though.
Needless to say, The Social Network is one of my most anticipated films of the year.
Great Director, crappy subject.
Could care less about a Facebook movie.
End of Line
the movie isnt even about facebook. if you havent read the script or seen anything on it then dont judge
“The Social Network stars Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg, and Andrew Garfield and is based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires, which about the creation of Facebook.”
Creation or about, either way sounds boring as shit.
