Our friends at FilmDrunk have the latest trailer for "The Social Network," the upcoming film that documents the meteoric rise of the social networking site Facebook.The film is written by Aaron Sorkin ("A Few Good Men," "The West Wing"), directed by David Fincher ("Fight Club," "Se7en") and co-stars Justin Timberlake (who once brought sexy back).
This seems like an odd trio to be attached to a film about a dork from Harvard who (possibly) stole some code and, with it, developed a social networking site that now mainly functions as a platform for users to view photos from the weddings of people they barely know.
Odder still is speculation from the popular futurism blog io9 that "The Social Network" will be a "sci-fi docudrama," a conclusion they base on the aggressively ominous tone of the trailer, among other things.
On the one hand, the strangeness, hype and talent involved with "The Social Network" has us looking forward to it. On the other hand, it's a movie about frickin' Facebook.

Ordinarily I would pass this kind of movie by, but because David Fincher is directing and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross are scoring it; color me interested.

Hmmmmm, sounds like a film to waste my time about the website that wastes my time. Throw in a carton of B&J and I'm there.
