Justin Timerblake, David Fincher, Mark Zuckerberg
So, depending on what sort of person you are, you’ll probably recognise the first two out of the three of the names above, but the third is quickly becoming a household name himself. If you’re unaware who Mark Zuckerberg is, he’s 25 years old, one of the founders of Facebook, currently the world’s largest social network, and depending who you read, he’s worth anything from $750million to $5 billion.
Why are these three names in the same line of a blog title though? We’ll it’s just been confirmed that Justin Timberlake is going to be playing Napster co-founder Sean Parker, in the ‘The Social Network’ or ‘The Facebook Movie’ as a lot of people are calling it at the moment.
Penned by Aaron Sorkin (writer and creator of “The West Wing” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip”) it’s based on Ben Mezrich’s book, “The Accidental Billionaires,” which explores the overnight success of Facebook and the impact on its young founders.
With the magic that is social media, the huge start-ups that capture the imagination and content of so many, could this be the first of a series of similar movies? Twitter the movie next maybe? Worthy of a nationwide launch, or straight to DVD? Let us know what you think in the comments!
