If you’ve seen The Social Network you know that one of the most standout redeeming qualities of the movie (besides the stellar writing and acting) is the dark, ominous, electric music from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. The 19 track soundtrack is available to purchase today for $7.99; that’s a steal. Download it at iTunes or order a physical copy from Amazon.
We are now two teaser trailers and two full-length trailers into The Social Network. Check out this latest one; it includes a bit more new footage and features Kanye West’s super single “Power.” The movie about the rise of Facebook hits theatres October 1, 2010.
When the first teaser for The Social Network hit the web I said this: “I have to say that this teaser is rather bland; it has not piqued my interest in the least to want to see this movie, and that’s what trailers are supposed to do.” Another teaser trailer (look after the break) and standard theatrical trailer later, and I’m sold. The Social Network, from director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin, will chronicle the rise of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Though this trailer contains much of the dialogue we’ve already heard in the two teasers, we finally get to put some faces to the words and everything just seems to work. I really like the way the studio is marketing the flick as a dark(ish) tale of greed and business opportunity that pushes those involved to their limits. And that fantastic rendition of Radiohead’s “Creep” is the sweet cherry on top. The Social Network stars Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Andrew Garfield, and Rashida Jones and releases on October 1.

The Social Network aka The Facebook Movie stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) as Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, as well as Brenda Song (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody), Andrew Garfield (the next Spider-Man), and Rashida Jones (Parks & Recreation). It’s directed by David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), written by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing), and executive produced by Scott Rudin, Kevin Spacey, and Michael DeLuca. Like the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich, the film will focus on the founding of Facebook and all of the internal battles that took place.
I have to say that this teaser is rather bland; it has not piqued my interest in the least to want to see this movie, and that’s what trailers are supposed to do. If there’s one rewarding aspect to take away from it it’s the amazing score that’s being provided by Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) and Atticus Ross. “…when I read the script and realized what [Fincher] was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned,” said Reznor on his site. He calls the movie “really fu**ing good. And dark!” Look after the break for the theatrical poster which reads, “You don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies.”
