Columbia has launched the official website for The Social Network. Right now the two trailers, some stills from the movie and bios of the cast and crew populate the site, but there will likely be more to come as the film's October 1 release date approaches.

It's finally here. The first full-length trailer for The Social Network, showing us some scenes and actors, well, acting in the film, has arrived. Watch and leave a comment on your favorite social network.

On his blog, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor broke word that he's scoring the soundtrack to The Social Network. "I've always loved David's work but quite honestly I wondered what would draw him to tell that story. When I actually read the script and realized what he was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned," said Reznor. "Atticus Ross and I have been on a creative roll so I asked him if he wanted to work on this with me and we signed on.

"Months later, I'm happy to tell you we're nearing the completion of this and I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out. The level of excellence that David operates on is inspiring and the entire process has been challenging and truly enjoyable."

Reznor also added that the movie is "really fucking good. And dark!"

Sony Pictures has dropped the teaser trailer for The Social Network online. Don't be disappointed by the omission of any scenes from the movie in the trailer; instead, dig that ominous music and the dialogue that you're about to hear.

The first teaser poster for The Social Network has been released. Not surprisingly, it bears some visual similarily to a popular social networking website.

Two spy photos of Justin Timberlake sporting hair curls like Sean Parker have popped up on the UK's Daily Mail website. The photographs were taken yesterday. At least we now know that the film's hair stylist is doing their part in maintaining historical accuracy.

Variety confirms the earlier casting report and says that Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake and Andrew Garfield are locked for the film.

The first reviewer of The Social Network screenplay is now reporting that casting is underway and that the three main roles have been finalized. According to Carson Reeves Jesse Eisenberg (Adventureland) will play Facebook co-founder and present day CEO Mark Zuckerberg; Justin Timberlake (Southland Tales) will play Sean Parker, the internet financier; and Andrew Garfield (The Other Boelyn Girl) will play Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Nothing official about the casting rumors has been said from the production company, Sony Pictures or Fincher's camps.

The first review of Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network screenplay has debuted online and it's enthusiastically positive. Carson Reeves of ScriptShadow has the details on the characters and premise of TSN and confirms that the story does chronicle the origin of Facebook and how all of the players in its creation met, worked together and then had their personal and professional falling outs.

"Part of my love for this 162 page script is that Sorkin doesn't use any discernible structure. I was constantly looking for a base, an obvious story or goal. And there isn't any. 99% of the time when this happens, the script's a disaster (don't try it. just, don't) But Sorkin uses some crazy unknown voodoo screenwriting tricks to keep us riveted," writes Reeves.

David Fincher is in discussions to direct The Social Network for Columbia Pictures. Fincher was nominated for an Academy Award for his last film, 2008's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
