Only one of the above is going to theaters … for now.
In case you haven’t heard David Fincher (Who made thousands of people think it was cool to be a neo-luddite with “Fight Club”) has just directed a movie about the creation of Facebook, aptly titled “The Social Network”. What’s wrong with “FaceMovie”?
Most of you probably have a Facebook profile, but few are probably aware that it started out humbly, as many Internet Billion Dollar Babies do, with the young Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, and that the network was initially a literal Harvard Facebook. A student who’s-who really.
I’ll admit that the idea of a biopic based on this subjects isn’t excatly thrilling me, but I am actually very interested to see what Fincher will bring to the table.
The first trailer for “The Social Network” is right here:
But of course, as we all know in these internet days no deed goes unspoofed. So it’s wasn’t long before a parody of the trailer, alledgedly advertising a movie about MySpace (remember MySpace? Chances are you were on there more than once).
Here is the trailer for “The Other Social Network”
And finally, here is the parody trailer about the only other website that eats up more teenage and adolescent waking hours than any other.
The trailer for “The Video Website” (where strangely I couldn’t find any of the other trailers)
The Social Network will open the New York Film Festival on September 24 and then appear in US theaters on October 1.
