The Facebook Movie Full Trailer: Creepier, Pokier, Anti-Zuckerbergier

Dear Mark Zuckerberg:

Uh-oh, from the looks of this full-length trailer for the upcming movie, “The Social Network,” about founding of Facebook, it’s not going to be a positive portrayal of you.

One bright spot: The hoodie is just right. And Sean Parker as channeled by Justin TImberlake looks nutso.

Also, apropos of nothing, the “Which part?” query at the end is spot on, having experienced it myself.

There have been two teaser trailers so far, but this is the first look at actual scenes about the social networking site’s origins in the movie.

But it is not pretty and includes the Vega Choir’s creepy rendition of Radiohead’s song “Creep.”

That would be you, Mark, according to the movie, which opens this fall. One possibility: The audience will embrace you as an anti-hero.

For certain from the trailers, the film–from Sony (SNE) unit Columbia Pictures–looks like it is leaving out the well-deserved part about you being a visionary entrepreneur, with an innovative drive on the same continuum of Bill Gates of Microsoft (MSFT), Jeff Bezos of Amazon (AMZN), Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google (GOOG) and, yes, even Steve Jobs of Apple (AAPL).

Maybe you should wait for the Silicon Valley sequel.

Here’s the video, if you dare to watch:

And here’s the real Mark Zuckerberg in action in an interview with Walt Mossberg and me at the eighth D: All Things Digital conference last month:

Seems like it will be something interesting to watch. They have to portray it “dark” as to generate the right buzz. With all the privacy and getting sued for idea theft it makes for a better movie plot.

Will be checking it out.

I don't know why, but whenever I see that superbad dude, I just want to laugh. WTF is this? Seems awfully dramatic – he's a guy that started a company.

Granted, it's a company that is interwoven in everyone's lives, but where's the Bill Gates / Warren Buffet / JD Rockefeller movie? Because of this, I question the factual nature of this movie and wonder what the point in watching it would be.

Eisenberg looks a little bit like Cera (I made the same mistake at first glance), but the voice is all wrong – and once you look closer, the looks.

Intriguing trailer, though!

yawn.

Bill Gates et all weren't getting ton's of strange ass as a result of forming there companies. Read the book by Ben Mezrich that this movie is based on Accidental Billionaires and you'll see why this is story worth telling.

Its premiere is as the Opening Night film of the New York Film Festival on September 24th. According to the Festival Program Director:

“It's exceptionally rare to discover a film that so powerfully captures the spirit of its time; The Social Network is such a film. David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin are a director/writer team, like Lumet and Chayefsky before them, that make this movie not only of the moment, but reflective of larger cultural issues as well, and confirm their position at forefront of contemporary cinema.”

A little over-the-top but it'll be an interesting film to see.
