David Fincher’s Facebook movie for Scott Rudin and Sony, called “The Social Network” and based on a mammoth Aaron Sorkin script (we didn’t love), has quietly begun casting… or at least accepting auditions.
How do we know? A close personal friend is in the thick of it…
This only furthers reports that the picture is moving along rapidly, as Fincher recently dropped his fee to make the production viable and cost-effective, co-producer Kevin Spacey said it would shoot this year, and co-producer Michael De Luca also recently extended his first-look deal with Sony through 2011.
While we remain skeptical about the project, we’re at the very least curious about how Fincher will lend his stylistic stamp to it. – Drew Taylor
Beeteedubs, did you see this Ben Stiller is Online/Facebook funny viral clip? We’re not sure what it’s supposed to be promoting — because all viral clips now promote something, right? — but it’s pretty damn funny which is high praise for us because Still generally gets on our nerves. Movieline cheekily called in an audition for Fincher’s film which is clever and amusing way to frame it.
