Finally a movie to get excited about
This has been a really awful Summer for movies. Between Marmaduke and The Last Airbender someone might think Hollywood has totally given up on even trying to make something good. Check the teaser trailer below.
Most people would let out a huge groan if they were told Hollywood’s latest idea was to make a movie about Facebook. But with David Fincher directing (Se7en, Fight Club), Aaron Sorkin writing (A Few Good Men, West Wing), Jesse Eisenberg starring (Adventureland, Zombieland), Justin Timberlake co-starring (the funny guy from SNL) and Trent Reznor doing the music (Nine Inch Nails) this film is something to get very excited about.
The movie is based on the best selling book with the same title (The Social Network actually the book is called “Accidental Billionaires”), but is going to be known as “the facebook movie” to most people. What excites me even more than the possibility of something good to see in theaters is the knowledge that at least a few people are going to give my Why I Quit Facebook post another read.
What do you think? Does this sound like a recipe for a hit? Getting excited?
I am looking forward to seeing this, also thinking about reading the book first.
I’m definitely going to try to read the book first. It’s been on my list forever.
I’m holding out for Piranhas 3D… I mean, Inception.
Inception should be very good. It is an example of a studio finally letting something original happen under a huge budget. Hopefully it does well and signals to the studios that audiences actually like original material.
The second trailer came out today, it is not nearly as effective.
