    That's the only Hayden Christensen movie I actually like.

        Other than Rachel Bilson being attractive....nope.

        Shattered Glass is good, though.

            Well I didn't think it was interesting when I heard about it, but the trailer definitely has me intrigued. Can't wait til it's on dvd.

              Yep, I really doubt much of the film is fact.

              Nothing like capitalizing off the trendy/hot cash cow. I don't see the point of watching a movie which pretty much makes up how Facebook really started. Oh well.

              In July, Zuckerberg participated in an interview in front of an audience at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Zuckerberg made it clear that he doesn't want the film to be seen as a true biopic.

              "Honestly," Zuckerberg told the Silicon Valley crowd, "I wish that when people try to do journalism or write stuff about Facebook, that they at least try to get it right."

              Zuckerberg was also asked why he didn't allow himself to be interviewed for the book that the film was based on ("The Accidental Billionaires," which, incidentally, is filed in the business and biographies sections at Amazon.com).

              "The reason why we didn't participate is because it was very clear that it was fiction from the beginning," the 26-year-old social networking wunderkind said. "I mean, he [author Ben Mezrich] basically told us, 'you know, what I'm most interested is in telling the most interesting story, right? 'And we want to make sure that we're never -- that we never participate in something like that so then someone can take something that's really fictional and say, and 'we talked to Mark Zuckerberg for this.'"

                A lot of this did happen though - at least from what I have read in the past. Obviously since its a movie its going to be stuffed with drama and mass exaggeration, but even if the film was mostly fictional it still looks great.

                    I don't care if it's 100% fiction, if it's a good story, I'll enjoy it.

                      The movie's producers wants to connect itself to a phenomenon to make mucho deniro, and then fudge the truth enough to make it palatable. I'll pass.

                          Yeah...it's mostly true, just tweaked it to be an enjoyable story rather than some boring autobiography...

                          Obviously Zuckerberg is gonna deny this crap...it doesn't make him look very good.

                          I'll be watching this movie, the book was a fun read and I think this will be great too...

                            I didn't realize this screenplay was written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men, Charlie Wilson's War). That makes me even more excited to know Sorkin wrote it and Fincher is directing it.

                              Yeah Sorkin writing and Fincher directing makes be believe this will be a very good film.

                                First time I saw the trailer, it gave me chills. Mostly because of a cover of the song "Creep" by Radiohead done by a choir. I googled it and found out it's sung by a Belgian women's choir named Scala. I've been listening to their music on Rhapsody now NON-STOP! Absolutely stunning.
