Yes it’s official. Not only is the story behind the world’s biggest social network set to hit the silver screen, but none other than Justin Timberlake is lined up to star in it too. To find out how he’s bringing geeky back, read on.
Before you get too excited, Timberlake won’t be playing number one nerd Mark Zuckerberg. Instead he’ll be portraying the slightly less dorky Napster co-founder Sean Parker. Way to keep it edgy, Justin.
Jesse Eisenberg (nope, us neither) is lined up to play Zuck himself and Kevin Spacey is attached as executive producer. The story looks at the beginning of the social network and its creation at Harvard University in 2004.
We predict it’ll be more of a train wreck than film’s based on computer games. At least those have interesting characters to start with.
