‘The Social Network’ Cast Confirmed

It has now been confirmed that Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) will play Harvard geek turned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Justin Timberlake (Alpha Dog) will be the former Napster co-founder and Facebook President Sean Parker while Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) is going to be Zuckerberg ’s Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

‘The Social Network’ Casting Rumors

Well it was bound to happen more sooner than later: director David Fincher and company have already started the casting process for their Facebook movie, The Social Network. I’m telling you this project is getting passed quicker than a laxative coated banana through a monkey.

Don’t believe me? Consider this: It was just August 11th that Screen Rant reported on the idea of The Social Network movie. Two weeks later on August 25th, we reported that producer Kevin Spacey had already confirmed a budget of $45 million and a start date of this October.

Status Update: Facebook Movie Gets the Green Light

Well it didn’t take Hollywood long at all to push Aaron Sorkin’s (The West Wing) script about the rise of Facebook, entitled The Social Network, through all the red tape to secure a budget and shooting date. It was just a couple of weeks ago that Screen Rant first reported on the big-screen adaptation of the online social giant’s startup story. We just could not understand why this film was being pushed through so fast.

Regardless of what blog sites and movie fans are thinking, though, Columbia Pictures has given the go ahead to David Fincher (Fight Club) and Kevin Spacey (Se7en) to start production on The Social Network in October, with a reported budget of $45 million dollars. That’s a mighty hefty price tag for a movie that should have no special effects in it whatsoever, and which should require almost no costly marketing at all (just use Facebook! Duh!).

‘The Social Network’ Wants to be Your Facebook Friend

‘The Social Network’ Wants to be Your Facebook Friend

I’ve been struggling, I mean, REALLY struggling to find the words to best describe the unexplainable reason behind why so many big names in Hollywood are clamoring to get a movie about Facebook, tentatively called The Social Network, made and into theaters.

David Fincher has already been confirmed as the director of The Social Network and Kevin Spacey will be producing. Yes, that is the same David Fincher that directed last year’s acclaimed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and other great films like Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac. He also reportedly is involved in a segment of the newest version of Heavy Metal.  Every one already knows what projects Kevin Spacey has been involved with: Se7en, The Usual Suspects, and American Beauty are among some of his best.

Facebook Movie ‘The Social Network’ Gets Good Early Buzz

Facebook Movie ‘The Social Network’ Gets Good Early Buzz

When news of a Facebook movie surfaced almost a year ago, many in the film blogging community rolled their eyes. As if it weren’t bad enough that Hollywood was churning out nothing but sequels and remakes of 80’s movies, now they’re giving us a movie based on social networking? What would be next, Twitter: The Movie?

Despite the fact that award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin was penning the script, many questioned the movie’s potential. Of course, that was before they knew that David Fincher (Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) was on board to direct. Now, all of a sudden, the Facebook movie (which is actually titled The Social Network) is beginning to look a lot more interesting, especially when you know a little more about the story.
