Justin Timberlake to Star in Facebook Movie

The Social Network starts production next month in October
and it’s about Mark Zuckerberg Halloween hd and the beginning team surrounding the famous social network. Based off the Ben Mezrich best seller The Accidental Billionaires, we learn the ins and outs of how the famous network got started and the drama that took place behind the scenes and still is.
There have been rumors for awhile about who would star in the movie and lead as Mark Zuckerberg himself. There have been rumors surrounding this movie for awhile and the two names that were talked about the most were Shia LeBeouf and Michael Cera.
It has been indicated that the leads have been casted and Jesse Eisenberg (starring in Zombieland releasing soon) will be starring as CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the flashy original President of Facebook and previously co-founder of Napster.
Aaron Sorkin will be writing the script and David Fincher will be directing the movie as Hollywood is capturing the country’s obsession with the social network.
I like this casting. Early rumors were that the lead of Zuckerberg was going to go to either Michale Cera or Shia LeBeouf who both would have been good. But Jesse Eisenberg is a solid choice. He has the silly dorky style and swagger to him the way Zuckerberg is portrayed and is a lesser name. For that reason I think he will be better for the role, because Cera has been terribly type casted for playing the exact same role in every movie. Eisenberg is a fitting choice to play the young billionaire and is roughly the same age as well.
Bug movie download Timberlake has not been in many roles but I feel this is a good choice as well. Sean Parker is known as a flashy guy out in Sillicon Valley and Timberlake will easily be able to portray the character with pazazz and flair. The only thing I question is the fact that even though Parker lives the VIP lifestyle out west, the reality is he’s a dork who grabs his inhaler any time a hot girl passes by, and well Justin Timberlake is…..the man. In that sense it’s a little unrealistic to see Timberlake play this role when in real life he is the complete opposite, but that’s why they call it acting.
What do you think of the casting?
