Facebook - the movie
 

Columbia Pictures is in advanced talks with David Fincher to direct "The Social Network," the Aaron Sorkin-scripted film for Columbia Pictures about the formation of Facebook.

The film will focus on the evolution of Facebook from its 2004 creation on the Harvard campus by sophomore Mark Zuckerberg to a juggernaut with more than 200 million members.

Scott Rudin and Michael De Luca are producing with Trigger Street's Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti.

The aim is to begin production later this year.

Fincher last directed "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

Dont think I'll queueing up to see this one. They really must be scrabbling around for ideas.

Well, it's better than another remake....

True, but something like this may make an interesting hour long documentary but not a feature film.

the making of facebook?
OMFG:rolleyes:

actually with sorkin scripting i think this could be fun - i'll hold out hope

I'd rather see another remake, at least The Departed was good.

What the hell? How many people are they expecting, will actually go see this??

For fuck's sake.

Sounds awful.

When I read the title I thought it meant something like this.




But a feature film about the making of it? What's it gonna be, 2 hours of a guy sitting at his computer. Maybe an argument with his girlfriend. Jesus...

I don't like the sound of it, but as long as Fincher is attached I'm in.

Columbia Pictures and director David Fincher have set its core cast for “The Social Network,” the Aaron Sorkin-scripted drama about the formation of Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg will play founder Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became Facebook’s founding president, and Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who fell out with Zuckerberg as the social network became a financial juggernaut.

Production will begin next month in Boston and then move to Los Angeles.

Scott Rudin, Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti and Cean Chaffin will produce. Kevin Spacey is executive producer.

The pic focuses on the evolution of Facebook, the social network created in 2004 on the Harvard campus. And how overnight success and wealth changes the lives of the classmates who created it. The trio were the subject of internet rumors as Fincher zeroed in on his leads.

Eisenberg, who went from “The Squid and the Whale” to “Adventureland,” locked the coveted role as Zuckerberg as Columbia prepares to release his latest film, “Zombieland,” on October 2.

Timberlake was most recently seen in “The Open Road,” and Garfield in the Terry Gilliam-directed “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.”

Really? And what will you be doing acting, directing what? lolz hey.. jking. But seeing this thread about facebook has given me an idea for a new and exciting poll

Wow. This makes me want to go see Halloween 3. And that's saying something.
