The Social Network
So the first teaser trailer is out for The Social Network, a film about the origins of Facebook. I’ve known about this project for quite a while now, but had forgotten all about it. Today however, in the wake of the trailer, I was surprised to notice that the director is none other than David Fincher. I also noticed that on Wikipedia they’re classifying it as a comedy-drama! Consider my mind fairly boggled.
Part of me is hoping for a damning interrogation into the alleged greed and betrayal that turned Mark Zuckerberg into a billionaire. Fincher’s involvement, coupled with posters emblazoned with the slogan “YOU DON’T GET TO 500 MILLION FRIENDS WITHOUT MAKING A FEW ENEMIES”, gives me great confidence. But comedy and exposé are strange bedfellows, and I’m simultaneously wondering whether this film will be what I think it is, and whether perhaps that comedy tag is spurious? (IMDB only list it as Drama)
Watched the trailer, rather dramatic!

I know! I’m starting to think that the whole ‘comedy’ thing is just plain wrong.
