The film is directed by Fight Club director David Fincher and is based upon the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal which profiles the rise of Mark Zuckerberg and his Facebook empire. The movie will star Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg (who was great in Zombieland) as well as Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker.

The movie will be in theaters this October and is about the early history of Facebook — from its beginnings in a Harvard dorm room through its early rise to mainstream domination.
