Facebook Movie 'The Social Network.'

Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg To Star In Facebook Movie

Eisenberg will play site's founder, Timberlake its first president in David Fincher's 'The Social Network.'

It's official: Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," a film based on the creation of the social networking site. But he's not the only rumored name now confirmed to be in the film. Variety reports that Justin Timberlake will also star in the flick alongside Eisenberg.

Timberlake will play Napster co-founder Sean Parker, who became Facebook's founding president. Andrew Garfield has been cast as Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who had a falling out with Zuckerberg as the site became a financial success. The crew, along with director David Fincher, will begin filming next month in Boston before moving production to Los Angeles.

One of the film's executive producers, Kevin Spacey, spoke to MTV News recently about the flick, speculating that it would begin filming before the end of this year, although at that time the details, including who would be directing and starring in the movie, had yet to be worked out.
Spacey did note that he was "enormously excited" about the film. "Great story for people that don't really know how it happened," he said. "Very filmic, very modern, very cool."

Meanwhile, even as late as last week, Eisenberg wouldn't confirm to MTV News that he was tackling the Zuckerberg role. Instead he opted to say only that he was still rumored to be attached to the film, which was penned by "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin. At the junket for "Zombieland," he said, "They are rumors. That is true."

I don't get it? A story about some nerds who wrote some HTML codes and made a web site? I hope they fluff the story up a bit, maybe add some nudity and an explosion or two, or this is going to be the boringest movie ever made.

A movie that no one asked for coming to a theater where you won't see it...

-HECK!

maybe it'll have lots of facebook wars on it, be kind of like Jerry Springer

I think I am going to not allow this friend request.

BAZOW! WHAT UP!

-HECK!

This is getting mad reviews, but with Sorkin writing, it'd awfully hard to make it suck.

Even Justin Timberlake is getting good reviews. Weird.

Possible Oscar buzz over a facebook movie? Even weirder.

I waste far too much time on Facebook as it is. One of the reasons I haven't posted on INRJ that much. Not going to spend $10 on a Facebook movie. F that in the A.

-HECK!
