David Fincher's The Social Network Has Its Cast

I’ll admit that I haven’t been reporting on The Social Network like I should. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know why. The script (penned by Aaron “Ya Liberalism!” Sorkin) is said to be quiet strong that went as far as attract the talent of one David Fincher.

That’s right, the same guy who delivered Fight Club and Seven to the world. Where some twerp would have previously said, “Why would he do something like this?” just simply has to take a look at Zodiac and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to show that the director is making an effort to break out of the “mold” that audiences have placed him in. And he’s been quiet successful at doing that so far.

For those who don’t know (or simply need a reminder), the film is an adaptation of the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal detailing the formation (or “origin story” for you dorks out there) of Facebook. Last month, Carson Reeves of ScriptShadow  stated that Fincher had already assembled his main cast in the form of Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake.

Cut to Variety reporting the exact same information now. ScriptShadow isn’t given props, of course. So why should I hyper-link to the official trades if they won’t do the same for the person who actually broke the Goddamn story? Especially considering that we’ll soon to have to pay to see these fuckers steal from sites like Latino Review, IESB, CHUD, etc. Fuck that.

Getting back to the topic of this article (Sorry, I do that a lot!), Network is turning into quiet the film to check out since the initial “Oh my God, they’re doing a ‘Facebook’ movie?!?” reactions. I just like the fact that Fincher is continuing to churn out work.
