The Social Networking Blockbuster?

The latest groundbreaking news to come to light is that there is to be a movie dedicated to the widely popular social networking site Facebook. The film will look to take audiences on a journey through the creation and overnight success of the website, which was created in 2004 on the campus of Harvard University. ‘The Social Network’ is due for release late this year, with Jesse Eisenberg (best known for his roles in Zombieland and The Squid and the Whale) playing Facebook’s chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg, and Justin Timberlake appearing as Sean Parker, Facebook’s founding president. When I first heard the idea for the film a flash of words came to mind, none of which were positive, however after seeing the trailer and the way in which the story is portrayed as one of passion, deceit, loss, fame, and all the other typical concoctions of emotions to make the perfect movie, I loosened up about the whole idea. Yes, when you hear ‘a film about Facebook’ it initially seems bizarre, yet when you actually look into the idea and find out that it does dig a little deeper than that, it seems that it could turn out to be a fairly successful blockbuster
