Kevin Spacey can tap-dance around all he wants, but I've been told that there's a better-than-decent chance that David Fincher will direct The Social Network -- a.k.a., "the Facebook movie." Hot-air rumor blather says that Michael Cera or Shia Lebouf are the prime choices to play Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. I don't think the producers are free to consider Paul Rust because of the
unremovable black stain called I Love
You, Beth Cooper. Lebouf could play Sean Parker, I suppose.

In this situation I might go in for Cera's Mexican non-union equivalent and call up Jesse Eisenberg

Emile Hirsch is a great choice; Shia is not. I am trying to get through the screenplay but, though a Sorkin fan, I can barely tolerate it. I hope it gets better.

Emile and Shia are both a bit too cool for school. Cera is a better choice.

Spacey's latest film got panned. Geez, what happened to his movie career? I know he's running a London theatre, but when he makes movies, they stink.

For anyone who hasnt seen Spacey on Season 1 of the tv show 'Wiseguy', the entire Season 1 is coming out on dvd (reissue) in Mid-August for $9.99. His performance was INCREDIBLE.

I loved the script. I was dead set against Fincher doing this (not that anyone ever asked me) and have turned around completely based on the script.

I don't think Spacey really cares about movies anymore. At least acting in them. He usually makes it pretty clear that the theatre is his main passion and the films just pay the bills.

I like the Jesse Eisenberg idea.

The guys Zuckerberg allegedly stole the idea from are identical twins, I believe...I wonder how they'll do that...probably doesn't matter, just change it I suppose.
