The Social Network is a 2010 drama film about the founding of the Internet social networking website Facebook. The film was directed by David Fincher and features an ensemble cast-Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Brenda Song, Max Minghella, Rooney Mara, and Armie Hammer.
Aaron Sorkin adapted his screenplay from Ben Mezrich’s nonfiction novel The Accidental Billionaires (2009). No Facebook staff or employees, including founder Mark Zuckerberg, were involved with the project, although Eduardo Saverin was a consultant for Mezrich’s story. The film is distributed by Columbia Pictures and was released on October 1, 2010, in the United States.
After his girlfriend, Erica, breaks up with him, Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg gets drunk and posts unflattering comments about her on his Livejournal account and gets the idea to create a website to rate the attractiveness of female Harvard undergraduates. Since Harvard lacks a unified database of student names and pictures, Mark hacks into the databases of various residence halls and downloads the pictures. Using an algorithm supplied by his best friend Eduardo Saverin, Mark creates a page called “Face Mash”, where people choose which of two women is more physically attractive. The site quickly becomes highly popular among male students and scandalous among female students. By four o’clock the next morning, the “Face Mash” site is getting thousands of hits an hour and crashes the Harvard web servers.
Mark is brought before the Administrative Review Board on charges of violating students’ privacy. He is put on six months’ probation and vilified by most of the women of the Harvard community. However, the popularity of “Face Mash” and the fact that he created it in one night, while drunk, attracts the attention of business partners Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, identical twins and members of Harvard’s rowing team, and Divya Narendra. They are looking for a programmer to help create a new web site, ” The Harvard Connection”, a proposition Mark accepts. Soon, Mark approaches Eduardo, who has been invited to pledge the Phoenix S-K Final Club, with an idea for an online social networking tool he calls “The Facebook”. It would be exclusive to those with a Harvard email account, the reasoning being that “Face Mash” was successful because site visitors knew the women featured; social connections will be made by invitation only, eliminating any invasion of privacy. Eduardo agrees to help Mark and gives him $ 1,000 seed money.
Filming for The Social Network began in October 2009 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Scenes were filmed around the campuses of two Massachusetts prep schools, Phillips Academy and Milton Academy.Additional scenes were filmed on the campus of Wheelock College, which was set up to be Harvard’s campus. (Harvard has turned down most requests for on-location filming ever since the filming of Love Story (1970), which caused significant physical damage to the campus.) Filming took place on the Keyser and Wyman quadrangles in the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University from November 2-4, which also doubled for Harvard in the film. From November 16-22, scenes were filmed at California State University, Dominguez Hills. The first scene in the film, where Zuckerberg is with his girlfriend, took 99 takes to finish. The film was shot on the Red One camera at 4K resolution.The rowing scenes with the Winklevoss brothers were filmed at Community Rowing Inc. in Newton, MA.Although a significant portion of the latter half of the film is set in Silicon Valley, the filmmakers opted to shoot those scenes in Los Angeles and Pasadena.
