With 500 million users in just six short years, Facebook has clearly become a global phenomenon. We rely on the social media site to not only connect with friends and family but to create and build brands and businesses by engaging everyday consumers. It is the birth of this incredible website that has sparked the creative minds of director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin to create The Social Network.
Based off of the book "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich, the new film set to debut October 1 follows the story of Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius, Mark Zuckerberg, and his creation of the biggest and most influential social media networking site. What begins in his dorm room as a jumbled project of blogging and programming soon evolves into a global sensation and revolution in the field of communication.
The movie follows Zuckerberg's journey to being the youngest billionaire in history within the short span of only six years. However, alongside his journey to fortune and fame we also witness the personal and legal complications of his creation, and as the film shows, "you don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies."
Check out the trailer of the upcoming film The Social Network and learn more about the movie by visiting the official website.
