Does FACEBOOK Movie Have it's Cast?

As you know David Fincher is prepping up to directed a movie about how Facebook came to exist, called The Social Network. The movie is being based on a book that tells this story called, The Accidental Billionaires, and Aaron Sorkin is the guy that adapted it into a screenplay which has been described as Unpredictable, Funny, Touching and Sad.

Apparently cast has already been completed on the project. Carson Reeves has heard that Jesse Eisenberg has signed to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (how perfect is that casting?), Andrew Garfield is set to play Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake will play internet entrepreneur Sean Parker (Napster).

As of right now this is only a rumor, but if true it seems like pretty solid casting and everyone fits the characters that they will be portraying.

I have no idea what this film is going to end up being like, at first I was very turned off by the project, but seeing all of the talent that is on board, and a story that sounds interesting it may actually end up being a pretty good film. What do you think of the potential cast?

Here is the description of the book that the film is based on:

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergraduates and best friends–outsiders at a school filled with polished prep-school grads and long-time legacies. They shared both academic brilliance in math and a geeky awkwardness with women. Eduardo figured their ticket to social acceptance–and sexual success–was getting invited to join one of the university’s Final Clubs, a constellation of elite societies that had groomed generations of the most powerful men in the world and ranked on top of the inflexible hierarchy at Harvard. Mark, with less of an interest in what the campus alpha males thought of him, happened to be a computer genius of the first order. Which he used to find a more direct route to social stardom: one lonely night, Mark hacked into the university’s computer system, creating a ratable database of all the female students on campus–and subsequently crashing the university’s servers and nearly getting himself kicked out of school. In that moment, in his Harvard dorm room, the framework for Facebook was born.

What followed–a real-life adventure filled with slick venture capitalists, stunning women, and six-foot-five-inch identical-twin Olympic rowers–makes for one of the most entertaining and compelling books of the year. Before long, Eduardo’s and Mark’s different ideas about Facebook created in their relationship faint cracks, which soon spiraled into out-and-out warfare. The collegiate exuberance that marked their collaboration fell prey to the adult world of lawyers and money. The great irony is that while Facebook succeeded by bringing people together, its very success tore two best friends apart. The Accidental Billionaires is a compulsively readable story of innocence lost–and of the unusual creation of a company that has revolutionized the way hundreds of millions of people relate to one another.
