Just when you thought America couldn't get any more of social networking...

there will soon be a movie about it as well-

Justin Timberlake to Star in Facebook MovieNext news .5:31 PM - September 8, 2009 by Jane McEntegart


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.

What is there to possibly film about social networking, unless it involves some sort of sociopathic stalker macheteing & meat cleavering attention seeking myspace whores.

When have biopics of nerds sold movies??? They can't even sell biopics of actors. Only musicians make great documantaries. How exciting can this possibly be? Scenes of hero working on his computer real late at night. Goign to meetings. Meeting other geeks at user groups. Sitting on a bench in a park contemplating whether to buy those extra servers. Maybe throw in a car chase. Ooowwww..

Justin's gotta realiuze that mr i rule the teenage girl crowd demographic ain't doign shit in the film world where his other demographics don't give a shit about him in movies. How many more bombs before he gets this?
