For too many reasons to fully document here, one of the movies I'm looking forward t the least this year is David Fincher's upcoming biographical drama about the world's most popular social-networking site, The Social Network. Starring Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake and a host of other 'faces', watching a movie about the sordid tale of how Facebook came to be is the last thing I want to sit down and pay money in the theater to see. Some will cry that even making a movie about the service's troubled CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) is a bit premature, despite the service's ongoing legal and (forgive me) social scandals, and I'd have to agree. I hope that I'm wrong, but I can't help feel this looks like it would have been much better on HBO than at your local multiplex.
The Social Network wants you to 'like' it on October 1st. Enjoy the trailer!
