Alright, I've officially succumbed to the hype. When buzz surrounding The Social Network first hit the web last year, when the film was still in production, I was interested. Not only because the adorable (and talented) Jesse Eisenberg would be playing the main role of Mark Zuckerberg, or that Justin Timberlake would be tackling the role of Sean Parker, creator of Napster, but because I knew that David Fincher was directing and that Aaron Sorkin had written a (most likely) masterful script. Fast forward a few months later and snippets of the movie were finally being released, accompanied by that haunting choir rendition of Radiohead's Creep, and my interest had come to an all time high. Tell me that the score from the commercial didn't have you reeling. A full choir doing a mellowed out, chilling version of Creep and a whole score cut by Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor? Brilliant. Today, I am in full force, and totally, completely, and unabashedly excited for this movie. The Social Network opens this Friday, October 1st. There are already Oscar campaigns for this movie, and the damn thing hasn't even opened yet. Please don't let me down, David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin.
Watch this exclusive webcast with the cast of the "Facebook movie" and its screenplay writer (Aaron Sorkin), brought to you by none other than MySpace, and uploaded onto YouTube(Hilarious, right? Right.):
I also loved this interview with Jake the Movie Guy. I like that this guy always does his research and actually asks some thought provoking questions, making movie junket interviews less vanilla and repetitive. I also have a newfound love for Andrew Garfield, who is just lovely and eloquent. Still waiting to see him in Never Let Me Go. Interview features Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield, Armie Hammer, and Aaron Sorkin.

And.. if you're up for it, the 40 minute panel at the New York Film Festival, held last Friday, September 24. It's interesting, and worth it to watch. Part One:
