Justin Timberlake to Star in Facebook Movie
As the days go by we're hearing more details about the Facebook movie and today's tidbit of information is, well, a little more disappointing than the fact that it's being directed by the same man who directed Fight Club.
So far we know that Aaron Sorkin, the guy who brought us the West Wing and A Few Good Men, will be writing the screenplay (Sorkin recently said he's never said 'yes' to a job offer faster). Fight Club and Se7en director, David Fincher has also been confirmed as the director, and Kevin Spacey will take on the role of producing the movie.
So who will star in this picture that has so far attracted a fairly decent chunk of cinematic talent? Word on the street is Justin Timberlake has signed on to play Sean Parker, Facebook's original president and the co-founder of filesharing site Napster. Yes, really.
What about Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO? Guardian UK reports that Adventureland star Jesse Eisenberg is the favorite to play Zuckerberg, with Shia LaBeouf and Michael Cera also rumored to take starring roles.

chaohsiangchen Only if they sign contract with Brittany Spears to be the main actress of the movie, I will have any intention, however small, to watch it.Reply
Now I can guess the plot. The boy meets the girl on Facebook, then start an online fight community ended with blowing up major banks and schizofrencia. -

hunter315 I cant express how badly i want this thing to fail, im not even sure what a facebook movie would be about, a bunch of people staring at computer screen for hours?Reply -
Spellbinder Not that I am a hater or anything. But I would say that I wish there was a "do not watch" list. because I am sure this will be on it.Reply -
Maxor127 Are all of you stupid or can you really not comprehend what this movie is about? Based on the comments, I'll say no. I get the gist of it just from casually glancing for 2 seconds, but 90% of the comments I read seem to think it's about the actual site rather than the people who created the site.Reply
