The Social Network is the upcoming movie about the start and rise of Facebook. There is plenty of reason for skepticism as much of it is likely to be over-glorified, dramatic and intriguing then the actual birth was; but I have to admit, after seeing the trailer I’m intrigued.
I’ve read both Ben Mezrich’s “The Accidental Billionaires” and David Kirkpatrick’s “The Facebook Effect,” and while Kirkpatrick’s is reportedly much more realistic-and based on actual facts and interviews with key players-it is still riveting. Which gives me hope – sometimes the truth is plenty exciting enough. Let’s hope the producers feel the same way.
Here’s the trailer, let me know what you think. Also, can I just say the remade “Creep” by Radiohead for this piece is perfect. Will you be going to see it come this October?

I saw this trailer the other day and also thought it was pretty good. Don't know that it'll be enough to convince my friends to come watch it with me but I still might check it out… Have you read “The Facebook Effect”? That's one that I still haven't gotten my hands on.
I'm going to do a opening night screening and post-viewing tweetup down herefor all the social media geeks like myself. I read the Facebook Effect andit was a great book. First 2/3rds are especially riveting. I loved it.
