It’s just a post on the popular entertainment blog “Deadline Hollywood.”
But it’s a clear indication the makers of the movie about the origins of Facebook are gunning for maximum attention and Oscar buzz with only a few weeks to go before its debut.
And they will further gas up the marketing machine for “The Social Network” more, even though it appears it will be devastating to the real-life version of its main subject, Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

BoomTown will be hoofing it elsewhere today, so I am missing Yahoo’s search event at its Sunnyvale campus this morning.
