The Trailer for the Facebook Movie Is Out and It Is Terrifying
Are you anticipating The Social Network as highly as we are? It's this movie about a deranged psycho who kills people by strangling them with their own small intestines. No, wait. It's about a nerd who founded a popular website.
We already saw the scary poster for the Aaron Sorkin-penned film. And the trailer continues to push the evil genius angle via giant sans serif words that flash across the screen as dramatic music plays:
PUNK, GENIUS, PROPHET, TRAITOR, BILLIONAIRE
Some snippets of exciting dialogue play as well. Like this one, which appears to be lifted from the script for an STD educational video:
-Who should we send it to first?
-Just a couple people. The question is: Who are they going to send it to?
Here is some dialogue that attempts to wring suspense from the number of pageviews a website gets:
-The site got twenty-two hundred hits in two hours?
-Thousand. Twenty-two thousand.
(You wouldn't believe how many times you overhear this exact thing at Gawker HQ.)
And some Frankenstein vibe going on here:
We don't know what it can be, we don't know what it will be. We know that it is cool.
Also, a guy just screams "Mark?" in a way that makes me think there's going to be a scene where Mark Zuckerberg takes off his mask and we see that he's actually a 58 year-old Russian ex-KGB agent. Then there is the dramatic exchange that shows Mark Zuckerberg is a rebel
-Mr. Zuckerberg do I have your full attention?
-No.
This movie is going to be so awesome.
