I didn't know about this movie until I read a L.A. Times article about how it was an Oscar Best Picture contender. After watching the trailer and Mr. Timberlake saying, "A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is? A billion," I was pretty much sold. Plus, London from "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody" on the Disney Channel showing a different side of her had some impact, too.
If you don't know anything about the movie, the whole theme is about Facebook's creator and, well, him creating it. The trailer shows pretty clear that he rises, rises, rises, then hits a snag. The movie isn't due to theaters until October, but that doesn't mean big buzz isn't surrounding it. I mean, hello, a social network movie is going to be supported by social networks.
In my opinion, I'm more surprised that a movie like this wasn't created years ago about MySpace. As much as we shun MySpace now, that is the platform that even created what is now known as social networking. Without MySpace, chances of there being a Facebook and Twitter are slim. MySpace paved the way.
Better late than never, though, because it seems Facebook will be around for a lot longer than MySpace was.
