Movie:The Social Network: Facebook History

The Social Network

A movie about the creation of Facebook headlined the New York Film Festival last Friday at the Walter Reade Theater in Manhattan. “The Social Network” by film maker David Fincher will open in US theaters on October 1.
 
The $47-million movie was based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal. It follows the story of Facebook creator and CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, who as a Harvard undergraduate, together with friend Eduardo Saverin and classmates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes founded the social networking giant.
 
Aaron Sorkin wrote the script for the movie that stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, Adventureland), pop superstar Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) and Joseph Mazzello (Simon Birch).
The movie said to have portrayed a ‘not-so flattering image’ of Zuckerberg who described the book it was based on as ‘fiction.’ According to the New York Post, the film depicted Zuckerberg as "a conniving backstabber who may have stolen the idea for his social networking site."
