The Daily Mail has revealed the first photos of Justin Timberlake in David Fincher’s The Social Network, co-starring Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield.
Timberlake is playing internet entrepreneur Sean Parker, the co-founder of Napster, who began informally advising Mark Zuckerberg (played in the film by Jesse Eisenberg), the co-creator of Facebook and later became its president when the company incorporated in 2004.
Based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal, The Social Network tells the story of the creation of Facebook. Our script reviewer Matt Levine recently did a review on screenwriter Aaron Sorkin’s screenplay for the movie, which you can read here.
The picture itself is blah and Timberlake doesn’t have anything about him that screams awesome, still I guess its newsworthy because Timberlake is such an unusual casting for the film.
