Full Trailer For Facebook Movie ‘The Social Network’ Hits The Web
- antidaily 16y agoWow, it even has the Winklevoss rower guys who sued Zuck in it.
- ssharp 16y agoThe narrative is based on the book "Accidental Billionaires" so the major conflicts will be with the Winklevoss twins and Eduardo Saverin. I think the book fills in a lot of gaps with fiction and the movie will probably do the same. The author, Ben Mezrich, tends to incorporate a lot of fiction into his "non-fiction" books and embellishes quite a bit in order to create a more compelling story.
- cvg 16y agoCheck out the book if you have the chance. A very quick read. A bit sensational, but a nice distraction.
- joshu 16y agoJesse Eisenberg sounds more like Jesse Eisenberg than Zuck.
- kylelibra 16y agoTrue, but I think he appears to do a pretty good job in the little snippets we see. I can't think of a better actor for the role, can you?
- vl 16y agoI actually like this actor in Adventureland and Zombieland (should this movie be Socialland then?). It's a pity, because I suspect this role is going to be not that good.
- semmons 16y agoHere's a direct link to the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUuPPC9YaVo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUuPPC9YaVo
- grasshoper 16y agoThank you! Yahoo Video is awful. It doesn't show you how much of it has actually loaded, and once it's done it has to load all over again to play a second time.
- kylelibra 16y agoDoes anyone think this will have a negative impact on Facebook's reputation or slow the rampant user growth? I'm inclined to believe this is going to have a huge impact on the masses and their perception of Facebook.
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- rblion 16y agoit will make zuckerberg look like fuckerberg to most people. he already embodies the brand of FB, superficial and materialistic. Fakebook should have been the title of the movie.
- jgilliam 16y agoI'd bet it will accelerate it, if it's even possible to accelerate it further.
- derwiki 16y agoIs Facebook funding this film at all?
- kylelibra 16y agoFacebook is not funding this film. Furthermore, it is against Facebook's Usage Terms for this film to be promoted through paid advertisements on Facebook. There is a quote from the studio somewhere talking about it. He basically says that any advertisements that are about Facebook the company have to be approved by Facebook. He said once the studio found that out they didn't even bother submitting advertisements.
- todayiamme 16y agoUnfortunately, it won't. I remember listening to an interview with Michael Douglas one night(I have insomnia), where he remarked that people actually came up to him and said that they wanted to be Gordon Gekko. This will in fact add to Zuckerberg's appeal and people will use Facebook to tell other people on Facebook how cool the guy who made Facebook actually is. Other than them the others simply won't care and will go right back to playing one of those Zynga games. The only thing that will kill Facebook is another fad, which gets embraced by the "cool" brigade.
- barmstrong 16y agoDid they really include a shot of him writing formulas on a window at Harvard? That cliched "genius" shot is getting worn out. Of all the smart people I've ever met, I've never seen one write forumlas on a window.
- CoryMathews 16y agoA Window is perfect when you don't have a large enough white board. I did it many times for college programming assignments.
- todayiamme 16y agoI can't afford a whiteboard so I use the glass coffee table for visualization instead. Nonetheless it does have the tortured genius cliché attached to it. As shallow as this sounds it actually makes it cooler. I like messing with people by writing poetry (Keats, Byron, Frost...) on it. I would recommend it to anyone who is sick of pretentious people who judge others.
- jackowayed 16y agoWhat writing implement works best? Dry-erase markers like you'd use on a whiteboard?
- CoryMathews 16y agoYeah those work good.
- jrnkntl 16y agoYes, which one do we have? I only know the shot of 21.
- ryanricard 16y agoA Beautiful Mind and Good Will Hunting, offhand. Well, Will was writing on a mirror not a window, but it still fits the "tortured genius doodles in grease pen" cliche.
- obsaysditto 16y agoThat cover of Radiohead's Creep by Scala & Kolacny is awesome.. listen to full song if you want http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Creep/2sx1OB http://grooveshark.com/#/s/Creep/2sx1OB
- smokinn 16y agoNo accounting for taste I guess. Maybe it's just because I'm such a fan of the original but I find this cover awful.
- dkersten 16y agoScala & The Kolacny Brothers are awesome. Some of their other songs are amazingly well done, my favourites being their versions of Schrei nach Liebe[1], The bitter end[2], Engel[3], and I touch myself[4]. Though I especially like Regi Penxten feat. Scala - I fail[5] an awesome mix between Scala's choir singing and Regi Penxtens dance/trance.

- dotBen 16y agoI preferred the 'OK Computer' cover by Clojure and 'Kid A' cover by Haskell.
- seldo 16y agoI dunno, all Haskell's song are really self-referential.

- trevelyan 16y agoWhat amazes me about the coverage of this film is that David Fincher is getting totally overshadowed by his subject. Case in point, Techcrunch doesn't even mention that Fincher is the director, even crediting the film to Aaron Sorkin who just worked on the script. Why is this an oversight? Fincher is one of the smartest directors in contemporary American film. Seven was a brilliant critique of how visual media feeds social violence. Fight Club turned a stylish but shallow nihilist novella into a meta-recursive critique of nihilism itself. Zodiac was a narrative masterpiece created out of nothing. The Game was an ambitious attempt to turn The Magus into a film that succeeded so well no-one seemed to notice. And even his lesser works, Panic Room and Benjamin Button, were still films that tried for something and are worth watching. Yet not a single mention. Amazing.
- CoachRufus87 16y agolooks awesome, can't wait.
- RK 16y agoReminds me of that more of that show Gossip Girl than Harvard.
- Aetius 16y agoHaha, yes! When that guy with the black hair said "I can't wait to stand over your shoulder and watch you write us a check.", I thought for a second they had cast Ed Sedgwick (Chuck on Gossip Girl) for the role.
- trevorturk 16y ago...uhh... was that Justin Timberlake...? This is going to be _hilarious_
- trafficlight 16y agoHe hasn't been into too many movies, but he's actually a decent actor. His character in Alpha Dog was well done. I also think it's funny he's playing Sean Parker, co-founder of Napster.
- fortybillion 16y agoHis scene lip-syncing to the Killers in Southland Tales is one of my favourite cinematic moments from the past few years. Which is saying a lot because that movie is awful in such a unique and special way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ7aS01JpK0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ7aS01JpK0

- Aaronontheweb 16y agoThis movie looks terrible, and I don't think the supporting players are going to be able to save it.
- sabat 16y agoActually I agree. As much as I think Zuck is a tool, this appears to me to be an old-media smearjob on social networks and the Internet in general. Not so much an indictment of Zuck. Who the hell outside of SV cares about Zuck? But to use him as a lightning rod to try and make the whole Internet look creepy and evil -- ingenious. I don't think it will work, but it's smart.
- jakemcgraw 16y agoAs a PHP developer, I can confirm that this is what my life is like. EVERY. DAY.
- lebowa 16y agoew
- dotBen 16y agoI'm completely torn. I'd watch the film because it's David Fincher but I'm put off because I know a number of the people in real life who are portrayed in the film. Rightly or wrongly, no one (as I understand it) involved with Facebook chose to take part in the writing of this so I have no idea if this is going to be an accurate portrayal or somewhat off-from-fact but will go down in everyone's mind as how it happened. Mind you, Parker's head has probably exploded with the knowledge Timberlake is playing him.
- cmelbye 16y agoIt doesn't look like they're capturing the awkwardness of Mark Zuckerberg speaking.
- cantbecool 16y agoI'm thinking this is going to be a decade-defining movie like Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off was for the 80's.
- hydo 16y agoWent to see Inception tonight and this played during the previews.
- paulnelligan 16y ago<conspiracy theory> Just wondering - what if this new facebook movie is really just a marketing ploy by facebook, designed to LOOK like it's attacking Zuckerberg, yet not REALLY attacking him ?? It would make perfect Machiavellian sense to do this, since it's now being advertised as an attack on Zuckerberg pre-release ... this could be just a distraction tactic from his real crimes such as, oh I don't know... that of selling every piece of you that he possibly can to advertising and slowly chipping away at your privacy bit by bit... </conspiracy theory> that, by the way, is a conspiracy theory, not necessarily something I believe, just something I believe is possible ...
- andreyf 16y agoThis movie is not about attacking Zuckerberg, not even a little. I'd be very surprised if funding came from him or Facebook, but I wouldn't be surprised if the creators talked to Zuck about it quite a bit.
