[thursday727]

didn't see a thread for this yet.

this movie sounds awesome

Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg
Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker
Brenda Song as Joanna Simmons
Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin
Rooney Mara as Erica
Armie Hammer as Cameron Winklevoss
Max Minghella as Martin Turner
Dakota Johnson as Leslie Brown
Joseph Mazzello as Dustin Moskovitz
Trevor Wright as Josh Thompson

[eraserhead]

hahaha this sounds absurd.

[thursday727]

I didn't know one of the founders of facebook , that guy that JT is playing was the same dude that founded Napster back in the day.

[thursday727]

haha what's next AP.net movie : the story of Jason Tate.

[drudo182]

I have the script but haven't read it yet. Will probably print it off on campus over break.

[thursday727]

i'm downloading the audiobook right now.

[bard]

i'm only interested because fincher is incredible.

[4N6 science]

I heard the author of the book on a local radio station this past summer discuss all of this. I'll probably go see it.

[drudo182]

It's a must see. David Fincher.

[Shakriel]

I'm interested because of David Fincher and the script having been written by Aaron Sorkin. slowly reading it, when I remember to.

[drudo182]

I'm interested in reading the book but I'm not sure how good it will be. Read some reviews that made it sound kind of average but it sounds interesting.

[eraserhead]

It's a must see. David Fincher.
Pretty much...the man can do no wrong.

[drudo182]

I would say this movie will be his biggest departure from anything he's done previously. It should be interesting.

[drudo182]

And I just noticed the cast list had Joseph Mazzello. Isn't he the boy from Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer? I haven't seen him since JP pretty much.

[deadkidsean]

And I just noticed the cast list had Joseph Mazzello. Isn't he the boy from Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer? I haven't seen him since JP pretty much.
He's actually going to be in The Pacific. Can't fucking wait.


Also: Simon Birch. Awesome movie.

[drudo182]

The Pacific looks amazing. William Sadler is in it as well. I love him.

[Formatfun]

When I first read about Justin Timberlake being in a movie about Facebook I thought WTF. Now I'm excited to see it.

[Shatter_Glass]

There's no way this will beat the Tucker Max movie, no waaaay

Supposedly the script is absolutely amazing.

[TJ Wells]

One of the best scripts I've ever read. Still, it doesn't exactly read like anything that would be even remotely visually exciting. Then again, my favorite Fincher flick is Zodiac, one of the least visually exciting films I've ever seen.

Zodiac is my favorite but I don't think it's not visually exciting. It's not technically flashy like Fight Club or Panic Room, but it is David Fincher movie. It still feels and looks like one of his. I think it's actually next to Benjamin Button has his best looking picture.

With this, I wonder how it will look as well but I bet it's beautiufl/.

[Jason Tate]

This is either interesting and watchable ... or horrible. Nothing in between. The book isn't that good.

Could you send me a copy of the script? Would like to read it.

I'm gonna say horrible. Just my feeling though.

[deadkidsean]

Same. I think it'll suck, but I'll buy into it for now.

Did some searching -- found it on the 2009 blacklist:

I present to you Charlie Wilson's War and Alien 3.

[thursday727]

Jesse Eisenberg is pretty much perfect casting as Mark Zuckerburg.

[drudo182]

Alien 3 turned out pretty good from the hell that occurred during making it, I'd say.

I'm not a huge Sorkin fan but people love that guy's writing.

[Jason Tate]

Just finished the screen play.

Actually quite good.

Couldn't help but see "Anti-Trust" in my head during most of it ... because that's how most computer movies are portrayed.

Could be good. Worth seeing. Zuckerburg is a bad ass.

i'm maybe 2 and half hours into the audiobook and Zuckerberg really reminds me of you so far.
as far as creating a popular website at such a young age.

Could either be a really good thing ... or really bad. Depending on how you view the character (man) ... haha..

Thank you, though. Appreciate it.

I've been here long enough to know you could never do some of the stuff Zuckerberg did(?). I mean...FUCK.

I'm the opposite, although in favor of PSH. Plus I'm a big fan of Mike Nichols.

Anyone know where I can find the screenplay?

Is the book this is "based" off of worth a read? The reviews aren't that great on Amazon but I'm still pretty interested in the story.

It's not accurate ... the screenplay is way better.

I can't wait for this. Zodiac is super long too, but it's one of, if not the best movie I've ever seen.

[fake empire]

This is gonna be so good.

500 million friends? seriously? you can't figure that out?

[MADSTA]

Intrigued.

[Guern1ca]

500 million friends? seriously? you can't figure that out?
I'm sure Jason could, but Average Joe would have to do a bit of thinking. It's a tad ambiguous -- could be about MySpace, for example, without the sidebar.

[0s0]

Jesse Eisenberg? Guess Michael Cera was too bizzy playing an "awkward teenager in love with a beautiful girl."

[Guern1ca]

Don't rag on Eisenberg man. He has proven his chops way above Michael Cera, yet always gets lumped in with him.

Yeah I don't get how he always gets accused of being just like him.

[Gaugzilla]

Thanks for being obvious poster making obvious joke. What next? Seth Rogen is the fat, awkward Jewish guy or Tom Hank is the likable fella? Please, you must have more of these jokes!

[TJ Wells]

I'm sure Jason could, but Average Joe would have to do a bit of thinking. It's a tad ambiguous -- could be about MySpace, for example, without the sidebar.
I totally disagree. I think anyone who's gonna have the slightest interest in seeing this would be able to figure it out. And honestly, I just think having that bar there makes the poster looks kitschy. Looks much better like this:

Really looking forward to Andrew Garfield as well. That kid's great.

[Guern1ca]

I totally disagree. I think anyone who's gonna have the slightest interest in seeing this would be able to figure it out. And honestly, I just think having that bar there makes the poster looks kitschy. Looks much better like this:
The purpose of promotion/posters/trailers/marketing is to get people that WOULDN'T have an interest in seeing the film see the film. You think they made a poster pandering to Fincher's fans? No ... because they will see it regardless. Only thing the poster w/o the sidebar would serve as would be a great teaser.

[TJ Wells]

Oh well. I think it looks stupid. Just put the name of the movie. It doesn't need to be put into the Facebook bar. Shoot me.

[surfwaxsideshow]

Didn't know much about this, but suddenly I'm really intrigued. Not the hugest Jesse Eisenberg fan, though, having only seen Adventureland. I don't want to derail this into a Michael Cera thread, but if we're talking type-casting semi awkward, semi normal skinny white guys, Eisenberg just doesn't pull it off all that convincingly in my opinion. He comes across awkward in the wrong way, if that makes any sense. In any case, the 3 hour runtime is a bit scary, but I have a feeling this is going to be great. Love the poster too.

[aradiantsunrise]

Any idea what this is rated?

Pretty bold statement if you've only seen, like, 1/20 of his body of work. :shrug:

[TJ Wells]

The Squid and the Whale
Roger Dodger

See either and completely change your mind.

[Gaugzilla]

Not to mention way BEFORE him. He was fantastic in Roger Dodger.

Can't they just be on the same level? People hate Cera because he's played the same character-type in about 6/7 movies, while Eisenberg hasn't been in enough to, I guess, really merit the amount of hate that MC gets. They're both decent actors, but nothing of huge talent yet. The Squid and The Whale was really good, as was Eisenberg, but I don't think he added any more depth than I think Cera could do.

Any idea what this is rated?

Most likely R if it follows the book. Fincher usually sticks to the 'R.'

[drudo182]

It will be R.

True, such great films.

I completely disagree. Youth in Revolt was enough to tell me that I can't buy Cera as an "intellectual" type whatsoever, while Eisenberg was able to make me buy him as one, even though he was faking it.

The movie name itself doesn't tell people it's about facebook. The bar does. It's a great design decision.

This guy from In Contention can put my thoughts much better than I can, so I'm gonna go ahead and steal them:

"it’s enough that this movie is about Facebook and will be associated with Facebook. It cheapens the poster slightly that whoever made this poster decided to include several pieces of Facebook ‘iconography’. It almost looks like some sort of cross promotion. The reference could have been more oblique"

Without the bar someone that randomly walks past the poster that isn't aware this movie was being made has no clue what movie the poster is advertising for. I think it was mentioned before, but advertisements are aimed towards people that aren't already in the know and set on seeing the movie.

Bad movie. I was super mixed about it right after watching but since then, whenever I see an add for it or see it on a store shelf, I'm reminded and then think about it. The more I think about it the worse it becomes.

[Guern1ca]

They really don't play the same roles. I don't get it. They look/dress alike and that's where it ends. Whatever.

[drudo182]

About had enough of having to hear about Michael Cera whenever Jesse Eisenberg is mentioned.

They're both similarly awkward but Eisenberg plays more serious roles, and is a better actor. not to mention he's been doing it longer than Michael Cera

[raptorz44]

Seems like this will actually be pretty awesome. A lot of people will probably right it off though, saying it's, "stupid" and "unnecessary".

Of course that'll be the general public that thinks Facebook was made by some big company and was instantly a success when it was made. The same type of people who join Facebook groups of, "SEE WHAT GOOGLE LOOKED LIKE IN 2002"

[color_coded]

I'm still not sold on this movie, but I'll check it out because I like a few people in the cast.

[popdisaster00]

When this was first announced, I really didn't know what to think. "a move about facebook" sounded like a terrible idea. I didn't really expect it to end up like this though, so now I'm pretty interested.

Considering Zuckerberg has had no part of the movie or book, they're probably more interested in capturing all the scandalous stuff rather than his speech patterns and nuances.

[Prestonxsmith]

Ah. I remember reading something over there where they kept making fun of the "bongggg.."

In my opinion, I don't see that much of a difference. I feel like he is just trying to do a dramatic portrayal.

[bard]

Don't they hate just about everything?
Don't hate on Film Junk. One of my favorite podcasts.

Also, yeah, I'm not that interested in this new trailer, but I'll still see it.

[Wake Up]

This looks excellent. Very excited for the film.

[raptorz44]

Movie seems awesome. Even more awesome is that Trent Reznor is scoring it.


However I think that it'll have a tough time being taken seriously in the mainstream...People will (sadly) view it as, "The Facebook Movie" and think it's something stupid when it's not at all...


And that choral version of Creep is freaking sweet.

[Why Bother?]

I love the cast and that last trailer got me pumped for this.

[Jason Tate]

So they're not interested in getting the story factually straight, or portraying someone as they are ... seems wrong.

[Gaugzilla]

I can't really say about the factual stuff. The book was written by the same guy that the did the book that was adapted for 21, so if it goes as loosely as that then I'd take it with a grain of salt. That said, the author's main consultant for the book was Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Zuckerberg had nothing to do with it, so it's kind of a one-sided story. Also, knowing Sorkin's love of amping up the drama, I'm sure it wil stray from being completely accurate.

Should check out The Facebook Effect. Extensively researched (with lots of Facebook access). Then meet somewhere in the middle.

Will most definitely do.

[SlappedActor]

The teaser trailer did nothing for me, but the full trailer was a lot better. I'll definitely be seeing this, I'm interested to see what Fincher does.

[thesollopsist]

Just saw the trailer for this and I wonder how it'll pan out

[xglassjawx]

wtf

[yayitsjoe]

thought the teaser trailer was disappointing, saw the full trailer yesterday before inception, it looks so good. i didn't know it was actually a movie, thought it was a documentary of sorts.

[whatbox!!!]

the trailer alone is a work of art i've watched like a million times

[eraserhead]

All the trailers before my screening of Inception were shitty Disney/pre-teen flicks. Charlie St. Cloud, Ramona and Beezus, etc.

[bard]

I'm going to see this because of Fincher, but I'm not expecting it to be all that good. Fincher can be incredible (Zodiac, Fight Club, Se7en, The Game) but Benjamin Button was disappointing, so...

[eraserhead]

Agreed.

[bard]

nah, it wasn't engaging

[spleen]

Same.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I really, really disliked Benjamin Button but I would never let one film push me to disregard a director.

[Ailite]

I am so excited for this. I see a best picture nomination in its future.

[x1onexwo1fx]

agreed. after watching benjamin button, i found myself saying to myself, that was it? but i have hopes that this will be a really good film despite it giving off a sort of zodiac vibe compared to his other films (i didn't like zodiac as much as his other films, either).

[movingxpictures]

Trailer has popped up on TV. Jesse Eisenberg was a good choice to play the lead. I will definitely be watching this when it comes out, because David Fincher can pull off making a drama about the creation of Facebook.

[WakingTheMisery]

I'm a lot more interested in Middle Men than this.

[popdisaster00]

I'm a lot more interested in Middle Men than this.
I can't stand how every single porn site is playing the trailer for that movie before the video you want to watch starts.

[WakingTheMisery]

Are they really? What sites are those? I haven't seen any. :shrug:

[spleen]

I am so excited for this. I see a best picture nomination in its future.



Best Picture? It looks good but not THAT good..

[jwicklun]

Best Picture? It looks good but not THAT good..

Well not that the Best Picture nomination has been moved up to 10 films they need some space to fill.

[Guern1ca]

I am so excited for this. I see a best picture nomination in its future.

Pretty easy to say on a year like this with an Oscar-favorite director, there being 10 nods, and it being a biopic.

[Kif]

I figured this would be the best place to post this.

This sums up my feels towards a movie about Facebook. Pretty well done too for a parody.

Never knew that was a Fincher movie, and I love that movie.

[Chris Fallon]

I really want to see this but I do wish Jesse Eisenberg would stop playing the same type of guy in every movie. He's like Woody Allen for a new generation, but not as clever or witty.

[Thomas Balkcom]

@petertravers

David Fincher’s Social Network is the 1st film I've given **** in 2010. It’s the movie of the year that also brilliantly defines the decade

[Gaugzilla]

Just kidding. But seriously....

[deadkidsean]

There have been character actors as long as there has been film. Why is everyone so fucking hung up on stuff like that the past couple of years? Some of biggest stars in Hollywood play the same role year after year and get a free pass (I'm looking at you, Will Ferrell). That argument for whether an actor has talent or not is so played out.

[Under The Knife]

Some of biggest stars in Hollywood play the same role year after year and get a free pass (I'm looking at you, Will Ferrell).

Kinda like with Martin Lawrence playing a policeman or a thief, sometimes both in the same film?

I don't have a problem with it, as long as they're good at what they're doing. For example, Michael Cera and the character he always plays fits in Arrested Development, because the type of humor meshes with it. But in almost everything else he's in, it's just annoying.

It's just a matter if that character actor fits in the film overall. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not.

[raptorz44]

Wow based off the first reports for this I'm excited.

Also, anyone else find it ironic that Justin Timberlake is playing the founder of Napster?

[jbaseball44]

Any reviews yet?

[*crying stars*]

I am so stoked for Jesse Eisenberg's performance. The "Power" trailer that has been playing on tv is incredible.

[bradsonemanband]

a movie about facebook? that sounds lame as hell

[poppa Q]

Pretty sure I've already posted this but I couldn't be more excited for Brenda Song in this.

Oh man awesome post.

i dont know which movie you are referring to

[jbaseball44]

Reading the script right now, pretty good so far

[chasingsafety]

im seeing this on wednesday. i was going to see it this tuesday but couldnt some of the people who did really liked it

[Jason Tate]

i dont know which movie you are referring to
:hitself:

[*crying stars*]

And remember that movie about Wall Street? Sure sucked too. :rolleyes:

How do you think the sequel will do? I'm hesitant to believe that it's going to be really good, but it looks like it is at least a little promising.

Also, I hate the Greed Never Sleeps part of the title.

[jbaseball44]

Reviews for Wall Street 2 have been decent enough thus far, I'd like to think that Stone is very comfortable with that character (Gekko) and that subject matter. Hopefully it translates into a good film or at least better then his recent efforts

[Jason Tate]

No idea. Looks ok. We'll have to see. Stone is big time hit or miss for me.

[Adeniz19]

And he's been way more miss lately

[Jason Tate]

2 & 2 in his last 4.

~7 of his last 10.

Gonna go and disagree with that ..

[bradsonemanband]

:hitself:

haha jason im sorryyyyyyyy! dont hate the playa, hate the game.

[Ailite]

Kid at my school last night said this movie looks silly and he doesn't want to watch a movie about using Facebook. I was appalled.

[eraserhead]

hahaha I love how people dismiss this movie, knowing nothing about it other than it's about facebook. so close-minded.

[thisisadisaster]

And remember that movie about Wall Street? Sure sucked too. :rolleyes:

i lol'd so hard at this.

[jwicklun]

People say that without realizing the amount and shit and drama went down when making the site.

[jbaseball44]

Just finished up reading the screenplay, pretty impressive

[Jason Tate]

People say that without realizing the amount and shit and drama went down when making the site.
And people say this without knowing the relative lack of shit and drama that actually went down when making the site. The screenplay is not very accurate. Keep that in mind.

[ImTheSheriff]

i hate when people say "it's a dumb movie about facebook"

[bard]

"Who would want to see a movie about an oil prospector?!"
"Who would want to see a movie about a serial killer case from the 60's!?"

haha lol i wanna see it

Cannot wait to see this.

Thats all it takes to get me to see it.

[*crying stars*]

Greed Never Sleeps? LOL. Try again.

Minor mistake. Still sounds stupid. Be a douche to someone else.

[drudo182]

Surprised it got a PG-13 rating.

[thesollopsist]

Can't wait to see this.

[kaylasananjou]

I'm iffy about this. David Fincher is amazing... but it's about FACEBOOK... and it's highly innacurate...

And every time I see the commercial with that choir version of "Creep" I'm just like "come on, really?"

But at the same time... I want to see it.

[colorlesscliche]

Buddy saw it and said it was fantastic.

you do know it's not 2 hours of someone messing around on Facebook right?

i'm just sick of hearing "it's about facebook"

[terror_91]

I am really interested in seeing this. How accurate is the story? Is it heavily embellished?

Read the thread to find out.

Exactly. People are really missing the point here.

[Jason Tate]

Yes.

But that doesn't mean the movie won't be good. Sorkin is one hell of a writer.

[mattyrocks]

cant wait.

[terror_91]

Yes.

But that doesn't mean the movie won't be good. Sorkin is one hell of a writer.

I'm sure it will be. I really like Jesse Eisenberg as well. Just wanted to know where I stand in terms of whether it is a true or not. Will definitely see this when it comes out.

The only thing I'm really annoyed with is how they portray Sean Parker (played by Justin Timberlake) and they play up the lawsuit from the Brothers as having more credibility than anyone that's looked at the legal documents would see.

I'm not familiar with the story if I am honest. Since I'm speaking to someone who seems in the know, could you recommend any books on it? I'll have a quick google now but no harm in asking ;-)

Yes I know, I'm not stupid, I just don't see how the creation of facebook could be as awesome and dramatic as the trailer (and I'm assuming the movie) are trying to make it seem.

If it was a movie about some retards playing Farmville, I wouldn't have the slightest interest.
