A trailer of The Social Network has landed on the front page of Social City’s The New City Gazette, an in-game newsletter where Playdom makes its game announcements. If you haven’t heard about it now, “The Social Network” is a movie about the founding of Facebook, directed by David Fincher, and starring Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The film hits theaters on October 1.

‘The Social Network’ trots to the front of the Oscar pack

Most Oscarologists consider “The Social Network” to be the front-runner to win the Oscar for best picture just based upon its pedigree. The tale of the founding of Facebook is written by Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing,” “A Few Good Men”), directed by David Fincher (“Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) and produced by Scott Rudin (“No Country for Old Men,” “There Will Be Blood,” “Doubt,” “Julie and Julia”).

Now there’s word that “The Social Network” will live up to its promise. Scott Foundas’ early review in Film Comment proclaims the movie to be “splendid entertainment from a master storyteller, packed with energetic incident and surprising performances. … It is a movie of people typing in front of computer screens and talking in rooms that is as suspenseful as any more obvious thriller. But this is also social commentary so perceptive that it may be regarded by future generations the way we now look to Gatsby for its acute distillation of Jazz Age decadence.”

Wow The Social Network really is EVERYWHERE. I love all the good reviews, controversies and the countless parodies it is generating. Just goes to show how big and relevant the movie will be. I really hope it lives to the expectation and I believe it will, it already sounds very promising from the trailer and the review I read and  it’s David Fincher we are talking about.

I have a very good feeling that TSN will do well at next year’s award season and that it will open many doors for Justin in the movie industry. As much as I would like him to come with an album, if this is his passion right now then so be it. As a fan I want to see him succeed in everything he sets his mind to. That been said I just hope he doesn’t take an eternity to release new music =)
