David Fincher (Fight Club, Curious Case of BB) is currently working on the Facebook movie, based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal by Ben Mezrich. The Social Network tells the story of Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg, the founders of Facebook. The main cast for the movie was recently announced. Jesse Eisenberg has signed to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Andrew Garfield is set to play Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake will play internet entrepreneur Sean Parker (Napster). - David Fincher has always been hit or miss for me. But I have faith that he'll successfully pull this one. What do you all think?
Meh. It sounds like a pretty bad idea, especially given the title. People seem to like the script, though I haven't bothered to read it since it's Sorkin. We'll see. I was none too impressed with Benjamin Button and Zodiac, though, and Fincher and is one of my favorite directors.
