(The article is a few days old but I thought it was worth posting)
It was bound to happen. Facebook, the subject of a big Hollywood movie — is now coping with becoming a cultural icon and a corporate monolith.
And they don’t like it one bit.
In a well-reported piece in The New York Times this weekend, we learn that Facebook has tried to have it both ways with “The Social Network,” David Fincher’s much-anticipated new thriller from Sony.
They’ve tried to shape the direction of the movie, and when that didn’t really work, they’ve tried to ignore it.
That’s not really working either.
Mark Zuckerberg, the 26-year-old founder of Facebook (played by doppelganger Jesse Eisenberg), is the one most wounded by a film that seems to portray him as someone who created the application “to get girls or to gain power,” according to Chris Hughes, a co-founder who left in 2007, who spoke to the Times.
Zuckerberg told WaxWord as much in a casual conversation in Sun Valley more than a month ago.
“I started Facebook to improve the world, and make it a more transparent place,” he said then. “This movie portrays me as someone who built Facebook so I could meet girls.”
Welcome to the big leagues, Mark.
TheWrap has learned that behind the scenes, Facebook negotiated for months with Sony to get them to rely on an authorized history of the company written by New York Times writer David Kirkpatrick, instead of a more rollicking, sexy account by Ben Mezrich, “The Accidental Billionaires.”
(The Times article never bothers to acknowledge that Kirkpatrick’s book was done with the company’s cooperation, a fact worth including.)
“We would have cooperated with them if they could have made a movie that was the real story,” Zuckerberg said.
The back and forth with filmmaker Fincher, writer Aaron Sorkin and producer Scott Rudin did result in changes, but the article doesn’t say what, or how much. Sony did not respond by publication to a request for more detail on what was changed in the film.
Clearly, though, Zuckerberg lost the battle to be the hero of the story. But honestly, if he thought he might win that one, I’m guessing he’s not seen too many Fincher films.
As the Times wrote:
“In Mr. Sorkin’s telling, Mr. Zuckerberg is not so much villain as antihero, a flawed human being whose deep need for acceptance becomes the driving force behind a website that offers the illusion of it.”

He’s not just blessed with being a handsome, musical mastermind. Justin Timberlake is the kind of rare guy men enjoy glugging beers with, women dream of introducing to their grandmother and professionals clamor to work beside.
One of the latest collaborations the star has made is with French brand, Givenchy, to come up with Play, a fresh fragrance with a nuance of that hip and smooth Timberlake attitude. Venturing into perfumes is a likely progression for someone who has already dabbled in film, TV and fashion.
Despite the time difference, his endless list of appointments and the searing temperature in Dubai, the “SexyBack” singer took time out with AskMen’s Tarek Hijazi for what seemed like a chat with an old friend. Laid-back, genuine, insightful, and to our — and a lot of people’s — surprise, 6-foot-1 Timberlake elaborates about the connection he feels with the modern scent, why he admires doctors so much and how jet lag and fame come hand-in-hand.
Q1:
AskMen.com : Tell us about your experience with Givenchy?
Justin Timberlake : When we first started on this partnership, it wasn’t for the women’s fragrance, it was for the men’s fragrance, obviously, and that’s been out for a while. I think it was just sort of a natural progression for them to move to the women’s fragrance as well. I had a little more of creative input on the men’s fragrance than I did on the women’s. I told them I did not want to have anything to do with the women’s fragrance because I didn’t even know what to do (laughs).
On the men’s side, they sent ideas my way to see how I responded to them, and I responded well to everything that they were making. I thought it was really cool, and non-traditional. We collaborated on the scent, the bottle and on everything else. It was a full collaboration, and it was a lot of fun.
Q2:
AM : What is it about Play that makes it so unique?
JT : I give credit to Givenchy because they were trying to turn the perfume industry on its head and I think they did a good job of it. It doesn’t look like a huge teardrop bottle. I think a lot of perfumes and cologne are sold to men and women in a very whimsical way, and Givenchy wanted to do something modern and sleek, and I think they accomplished it. The bottle looks like an MP3 player and so the name was really just a play on words.
Q3:
AM : They say “Play for Her” is tailor-made for the female alter ego of the daring “Play man,” which is you. In just a few words, how would you define a female alter ego of yourself?
JT : Modern, sleek, bold, playful, fresh, and not too serious.
Q4:
AM : How much is too much cologne?
JT : If I could smell you when you first walked into the room, then you’re definitely wearing too much.
Q5:
AM : Where do you most like to smell a perfume on a woman?
JT : Probably somewhere close to her collarbone. You know what I mean? It’s right there… a little bit lower than the neck.
Q6:
AM : You don’t like to get too personal during interviews. What’s some of the strangest questions that you have been asked?
JT : (Laughs) I’ve been asked everything you can think of. I’m not going to get into it because sometimes you get asked so many strange questions that they don’t appear that strange anymore.
Q7:
AM : Do you ever wish you had a normal life?
JT : That’s a really tough question to answer. “Celebrity” is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don’t think it makes me extraordinary. That’s my opinion. I like to be an artist, I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don’t think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person. Doctors should be celebrities. We just entertain people. They save lives.
If there’s anything that I do that’s extraordinary it’s giving people an opportunity to forget about the bad things that are happening in their lives and just enjoy the moment. That’s all that I do. I don’t save their lives. I don’t make their lives better. I just give them a break, and that’s how I look at what I do. But, again, I don’t think that makes me anything special. We’re all people. I just get to do something really cool for a living and I feel lucky.
Q8:
AM : What would you have done if you hadn’t been a musician?
JT : I don’t know. Honestly, the only thing I loved when I was a kid was basketball. I was an athlete when I was a kid, and that was it.
Q9:
AM : As an artist today, what advice would you give to a 16-year-old version of yourself?
JT : I’d talk about the whole idea of fame. There’s nothing there to hold on to. It’s sort of a mirage. See, a mirage is a good thing to talk about when you’re here. When you walk outside and it’s so hot [in Dubai], your mind starts playing tricks on you (laughs). Seriously though, it’s important to have things close to you that mean something to you rather than putting your importance and what everyone else thinks of you first. I think a lot of people in our business get caught up in that. So, if I were telling a younger version of myself something like that, I’d say: “The things that are important to you right now are the things that should be important to you as you grow into an adult. Those ‘ideals’ should be less important to you.”
Q10:
AM : Has there ever been an experience that changed your outlook on life?
JT : All the time. Whether it’s the death of someone close to me that I love very much or disasters like that of Haiti. I was raised in a very humble environment and I was always taught to be humble to the things that are happening in my life because they’re blessings. They’re blessings in every way. Whether you’re able to help someone get through a tough time in their life through your music or through comedy, or whatever it is, you’re just a channel. You’re not dictating what’s happening. You’re just able to portray it in your own unique way.
Q11:
AM : What has been the most surprisingly difficult part of fame?
JT : I think it’s the schedule. It’s interesting because everything I’ve just been saying about feeling like you are a normal person who just gets to do something very cool; sometimes the job is a 24-hour job, and that’s very hard to do. Sometimes you do want some time to yourself, and sometimes you become misunderstood. But the most difficult part will have to be the schedule and the travel because you’re always on the bus, on a plane or in a car.

Holding on tightly to his Lowepro camera bag and his iPad, Justin Timberlake was spotted on the set of his new film Friends with Benefits in Los Angeles today (September 1) The bespectacled actor-singer could be seen getting into his trailer, wearing a pair of William Rast jeans from his own clothing line.
Check another video from the shooting of Friends with Benefits during the weekend.
Seems like we are going to be seeing Justin constantly getting hit by cars in this movie lol. Unless that little accident was not part of the filming ? Either way, just the thought of it sounds terrifying.
Watch below:
There are now 280 pictures of Justin Timberlake & Mila Kunis filming “Friends with Benefits” in Malibu.
Justin & Mila can be seen laughing and running to the beach. In other scene Mila gets a flower from a little kid in a suit while Justin laughs and gives the little kid a high five.
Richard Jenkins who plays Justin’s father with Alzheimer takes his pants off again, and Justin hugs him expressing his affection for him.

Last month, I reported that Sony had turned to Twitter to advertise its new movie The Social Network. That’s because Facebook wouldn’t let Sony use its site to advertise. The film is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal.
“A Sony spokesperson told All Things Digital that Facebook doesn’t allow ads that reference the company unless Facebook is cooperating. Facebook is not cooperating on the movie …”
The Social Network, which opens October 1, is one the studio’s big fall movies. Not advertising on Facebook would seem to cut off a big advertising platform for Sony.
But the studio has found a stealthy way of getting the film on Facebook anyway. Yesterday Sony launched the official movie web site. The front page of the site offers one social media option: to “like” the movie on Facebook. (There are more sharing options once you go inside the site.)
So far 28,000 people have clicked on the option which makes a note appear on a user’s feed saying so-and-so “recommends the movie The Social Network on 500millionfriends.com.” The link takes users to the new movie website which includes photos and videos from the film.
This might turn out to be an even more useful (and cheaper) form of advertising for Sony. Many Facebook users are wary of the ads that pop up alongside their news feeds. But they trust their “friends” to recommend stuff that they might actually like.

It’s a sweeping romantic moment set against the grandeur of New York’s Grand Central Terminal, venue to countless poignant moments of tearful farewells.
A forlorn young woman, suitcase in hand, buys her train ticket from the kiosk when her lover appears from out of the shadows to present her with a bouquet of flowers. The couple embrace and leave together on a horse and buggy waiting outside the station. Cut.
The scene, from the Justin Timberlake romantic comedy “Friends With Benefits,” is supposed to unfold in New York’s renowned example of Beaux-Arts architecture. But the scene will in fact be filmed this week in downtown Los Angeles at Union Station, just the latest in a long line of movies, TV shows and commercials that have showcased the Mission-and-Modern-style station.
“It’s an homage to all the great films that have shot at Union Station,’’ said Glenn Gainor, head of physical production at Sony Pictures Entertainment film unit Screen Gems, which is producing the movie, a bicoastal production shot in both New York and L.A.
The movie started filming in L.A. earlier this month and highlights many of the City of Angels’ landmarks, including the Hollywood sign, the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre – and Union Station.
“Union Station is one of the more beautiful locations in L.A, from its Art Deco 1930s tiles to its vacant ticket station, “ Gainor said. “It has superior architecture and was built at a time [1939] when people really sweated the details. It’s always on my radar.”
And apparently on many others. The station has become a bustling film destination thanks to its distinctive architecture, wide open spaces – including a vacant 12,000-square-foot former ticketing concourse and 65-foot-high ceilings – and a reputation for being “film friendly.”
In recent years, the station has been the site for dozens of car commercials, feature films including “The Night Watchman,” “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” and the upcoming adaptation of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged,” as well as such TV shows as “CSI: New York,” “Cold Case” and the reality program “Top Chef.”
Owned by Denver, Colorado-based commercial real estate company ProLogis, the station has filming activities on about 100 days of the year, said Jeff Cooper, a portfolio manager for Hollywood Locations, whose principals co-own and manage Los Angeles Center Studios and represent for filming various properties around L.A., including Union Station.
“We make it easy for movie companies to come in here,’’ said Cooper, who charges up to $10,000 a day or between $1,500 and $2,000 an hour for filming at the station.
Hollywood has longstanding ties to 71-year-old Union Station, which has been featured in such classic movies as “Blade Runner,” and even had a film named after it: the 1950 film noir “Union Station,” starring William Holden. It often appears in period movies like “Pearl Harbor.”
“People love the way it looks,’’ Cooper said. “You couldn’t build a soundstage like this.”
Large, available space is another draw, he said, recalling how the producers of “Charlie’s Angels” converted a vacant concourse into a bedroom set in a European castle.
In “Friends With Benefits,” the Union Station scene unfolds as a movie within a movie. Justin Timberlake’s character is watching a romantic comedy on TV with his girlfriend, played by Mila Kunis. Timberlake’s character notices palm trees in the background, and remarks that the station is in fact in L.A., not New York.
The line is partly an inside joke about how Hollywood often disguises L.A. for other locations, and partly a tribute to one of L.A.’s signature locations, said Doug Dresser, the film’s location manager.
“It’s one of the timeless treasures of L.A.,” he said.

Added new pictures of Justin & Mila shooting scenes for “Friends with Benefits” in Malibu. Also on set was actress Jenna Elfman, who could be seen getting a hug from Justin.
DIRECTOR Quentin Tarantino wants Justin Timberlake to star in one of his movies!
Insiders say the Pulp Fiction filmmaker is considering the SexyBack hitmaker for a new violent epic based around a trainee hitman.
“It’s a kind of dark comedy, very much in the Tarrantino style,” reports a Hollywood mole.
“Justin is a new raw talent when it comes to acting but Quentin feels he could be ideal for the lead role. He’s excited about taking a teen heartthrob and turning him into a cold-blooded killer.”
Timberlake recently admitted he’s “insecure” about his talent.
“I think I’m equally insecure about both of them,” he said. “I’ve been doing this for two thirds of my life and I still consider myself pretty young but I think that’s the part you battle with all the time.
“When you’re creating your art, that’s the best part. Your senses are on a creative high and then the part where everyone gets to see it and comment on it, that’s the part I think you battle with until you die.
“It’s absolutely terrifying.”

Wow Justin’s movie career is really taking off
With help from Justin Timberlake and his friends, the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) recently completed a major overhaul of the Angono Regional Pilot School for the Arts (ARPSA) music room in Angono, Rizal.
The P1-million project was made possible by the recent “Changing Lives” benefit concert organized by concert producer Francis Lumen, Smart Infinity and PSF featuring international artists Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Jojo.
The newly-renovated and refurbished music room was repainted, rebuilt with a stage for performances, and given new recording equipment and an air-conditioning system with the help of the Philippine Constructors Association and Architect Carla Suiza.
The PSF also donated instruments including violins, a cello, a double bass, an electronic piano, and a complete sound system.
“The music room fulfilled our promise to Justin Timberlake that we help budding musicians and artists affected by Ondoy and Pepeng. We want ARPSA to be a center for the arts,” said PSF president Butch Meily.
“Timberlake wanted to help kids with their music programs and musical instruments since music is close to his heart. Smart Customer Care identified the beneficiary,” added Meily.
A pioneering arts school, ARPSA is government-run high school dedicated to developing students through a curriculum that emphasizes performing, musical and visual arts.
Last year, the school was devastated by super typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng, which damaged parts of buildings, destroyed books and instruments, and even caused the death of one student in a landslide.
The music room’s unveiling, hosted by ARPSA principal Amihan Reynes-Fenis, featured performances by ARPSA’s dance troupe, chorale, and orchestra.

Also check out another interview in which with Emma Stone and the director of Friends with Benefits Will Gluck talk about working with Justin:
Added pictures of Justin Timberlake shooting a scene with Emma Stone for his latest movie ‘Friends With Benefits’ in Los Angeles, CA.
Click here to see the pictures
Also according to Wikipedia here is a short description of the movie:
The story centers around two professionals that meet that are too busy to find a mate. They agree to have an intimate relationship with no strings attached. Things get complicated when the guy falls for the girl, who’s dating someone else. The script was written by Keith Merryman and David Newman, but Gluck is expected to do a polish of the script.
Director Will Gluck discussed the plot and his approach to dealing with a storyline with similar themes to previous films by stating: “Every romantic comedy over the last twenty years is about the same thing, right? The two characters in this movie played by Justin and Mila are in this generation like you and me where they’ve grown up on romantic comedies. They comment about these romantic comedies throughout the movie, and as they go through their storyline, they realize that they’re in a romantic comedy story — as two regular people who aren’t in a movie would comment on. They’re very cognizant that they’re in this story and they’re like, ‘Oh, we know how this is gonna end,’ and they think they’re gonna be different, but they end up embracing the fact that they’re going through a romantic comedy moment.”
Thanks Gkay for the heads up =)
