Facebook Movie Could Damage Zuckerberg’s Image
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sony, Biopics, Drama, New Releases, Videos,
The Social Network, the much-hyped movie depicting the origins of Facebook, does not paint a very flattering portrait of company founder Mark Zuckerberg. The former Harvard student is the world’s youngest billionaire and already wildly successful though he’s several years shy of his 30th birthday. But his story, as presented in the movie, is hardly the stuff of American dreams.
Facebook execs attempted to get some parts of the film changed…but it didn’t work. Now, the famous social networking site (and it’s low-profile founder Zuckerberg) is preparing for the unflattering film to be a big hit with moviegoers (which seems, considering the cast and the huge promotional budget, a foregone conclusion).

No Facebook Marketing for Facebook Movie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, Sony, Biopics, Drama, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
If you’ve seen of the ads for the upcoming Facebook movie, it probably wasn’t while you were commenting on your friend’s status update.
That’s because Sony has decided not to promote The Social Network - an unflattering tale about the creation of Facebook - on the popular site at all.

Listen to The Social Network’s First Teaser Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, Biopics, Drama, Trailers, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Last week, Columbia Pictures offered up a portrait of a serial killer as a teaser for its upcoming movie about Facebook. Now, we at least have some voices - and only voices - to go with the film.
In this new trailer for The Social Network, we get a better feel for where director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin are going with the poster’s tagline: “You Don’t Get to 500 Million Friends Without Making a Few Enemies.” (Give the ominous tone of the music, I think I’m going to be perfectly happy with the 300+ friends I have right now.)
Want to know more about the guys responsible for creating the timesuck we’re addicted to today? Then schedule your next Facebook event for October 1.

Jesse Eisenberg is Scary as Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Biopics, Drama, Casting, Celeb News, Distribution, Upcoming Releases,
The poster for the upcoming Facebook movie, The Social Network, is out and it’s a far, dark cry from the bright, fun place that gave way to Farmville. Hollywood, after all, always has to ensure
extra drama when it comes to biopics (I mean no one’s life is ever boring, right?).
If there was a good way to distinguish star Jesse Eisenberg—who portrays Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the film—from
awkward, teen actor Michael Cera, this will hopefully do the trick. Or maybe he’s trying to make up for the sad movie that was Adventureland.

Timberlake will be joined by Zombieland‘s
Michael Cera
Jesse Eisenberg, who will play the site’s founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Andrew Garfield, who will portray co-founder Eduardo Saverin (he later had a fallout with Zuckerberg over money).
