The movie about Facebook that is being directed by David Fincher and published by Columbia Pictures is slated to hit theaters on October 15, 2010. The movie was written by Aaron Sorkin and stars Jesse Eisenberg (pictured), Justin Timberlake, Joe Mazzello, and Andrew Garfield. Eisenberg will be playing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake will be playing Napster co-founder and former Facebook advisor Sean Parker. Andrew Garfield is playing Eduardo Saverin, a Facebook co-founder who ended up quitting as a disagreement with Zuckerberg over money.
I haven’t yet read the book that the movie is based on, but I think it would be interesting if they also include the three people that Zuckerberg supposedly stole code from: Tyler Winklevoss, Cameron Winklevoss, and Divya Narendra. Supposedly those three individuals made $65 million as part of a settlement with their company ConnectU and Facebook this past February.

Jesse Eisenberg is the actor that will be playing Mark Zuckerberg in a movie called The Social Network. The Social Network is a movie based on the founding of online social network Facebook. Facebook was founded by Zuckerberg in a dorm room when he was attending Harvard University. However the movie will not be filmed at Harvard. It will be filmed at The John Hopkins University.
“It feels degrading somehow,” stated John Hopkins student Diego Ardila while he watched movie scene workers remove the words “Latrobe Hall” from an engineering building and replace it with “Kirkland House.” The reason why Harvard would not allow The Social Network to be filmed there is because they have a policy that no commercial filming can be made on campus.
As the BaltimoreSun.com put it, John Hopkins felt like a “safety school” by the film because they could not get Harvard. Just like John Hopkins is considered a safety school for kids that also applied to Harvard. This is why many students that walked around the set made sure to wear John Hopkins shirts and hoodies hoping that it would end up being seen on the final cut of the movie.
Eisenberg recently starred in Zombieland with Woody Harrelson. The ironic part of Zombieland is that one of the lines stated by Eisenberg’s character is that one nice thing about everyone being zombies is that you no longer have to read Facebook status updates from friends.
ValleyWag posted the following screenshots of the movie set:
