The Social Network Movie Slated To Hit Theaters On October 15, 2010
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.
Facebook Movie Becomes A Buzzkill For John Hopkins Students [Screenshots]
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.

Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg Rumored To Star In Facebook Movie
Next month the movie The Social Network will star production and it was previously rumored that Michael Cera or Shia LaBeouf would be starring in the movie. The Social Network movie will be based on the founding up until the current state of Facebook.
Now two more names have been thrown into the movie rumor mill. The Script Shadow reports that the “cast is set” and Justin Timberlake will star as former Facebook president and Napster co-founder Sean Parker. Mark Zuckerberg will be played by Jesse Eisenberg.
The Social Network movie will be based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal by Ben Mezrich. Mezrich previously wrote a book called Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions which was made into the movie 21.
One of the sources for the book was Eduardo Saverin. Saverin was an early Facebook employee and attended Harvard University with Zuckerberg. Both Saverin and Zuckerberg supposedly joined a group called “Phoenix” at Harvard which was a secret underground fraternity-like Jewish society.
Since then Saverin and Zuckerberg have sued each other. Saverin had supposedly attempted to freeze the Facebook company account.
