Justin Timberlake gets ‘friend request’ from Facebook movie

Justin Timberlake

It's official: Justin Timberlake will play Napster co-founder Sean Parker, who became Facebook's founding president. Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," a film based on the creation of the social networking site.
Andrew Garfield has been cast as Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who had a falling out with Zuckerberg as the site became a financial success. The crew, along with director David Fincher, will begin filming next month in Boston before moving production to Los Angeles.
One of the film's executive producers, Kevin Spacey, spoke to MTV News recently about the flick, speculating that it would begin filming before the end of this year, although at that time the details, including who would be directing and starring in the movie, had yet to be worked out.
Spacey did note that he was "enormously excited" about the film. "Great story for people that don't really know how it happened," he said. "Very filmic, very modern, very cool."
The film was penned by "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin.
