The new trailer looks great! Love the chorus singing Radiohead's "Creep".

how can you say terrible yet you know nothing about them, and they give little depth to the movie!

Did you watch the full trailer? Because it actually shows you footage and what the movie is about.

I finally watched the second trailer today. Without putting the film down in any way, no matter how interesting everyone keeps saying the Zuckerberg story is, I just CAN NOT get myself interested in a movie about the creation of Facebook. Although maybe it's just because I'm finding myself less and less interested with the site. I'm thinking I'd like to see this story maybe 10 to 20 years from now after we see where it's all going, and what other kinds of things it spawns, but at the moment, I simply don't care.

That said, the first trailer, from a purely technical standpoint, was a work of art. Simple, yet effective. This one, however, didn't do anything for me. And I hated that Creep cover.

[Monkey]

Hmm, I had to check out what he's done. I loved The Game, Alien 3, Fight Club is pretty good as well.

I like the main actor in this (from Zombieland) but this will be a rental at best. The trailer looks ok at best.. 2nd trailers Creep music was dull to me, bad cover..

I'm also on FB but less interested in it every day. I get sick of seeing comments like "I arrived at the Hilton" "I just ate a good burrito", or the ones where couples are constantl "I love you Joeblony, you are the best ever" "I love you too buttercup, you are my solar wind and my sunshine". .. "I'm wasted yet again.." "When are we going to go to the club and drink until we are sick again"

Too much info "I just took a dump"..

And the invites from people you haven't chatted with in 20 years from High School.. the ones you really didn't know or care to know in High School... Am I supposed to care now??

AGREED! The only thing that Facebook is really good for is actual important events to be discussed between actual friends/family or to give an update on something serious like somebody's medical condition. Unfortunately, these important messages are usually lost in the fray.

I was really interested in seeing this film... until I saw Justin Timberlake.

I'll wait for the Twitter film.

Because teasers are supposed to get you in a lather
The whole point of a teaser is to get you worked up to the point where you're anticipating the trailer - which will hit you harder and be more of a sure draw to get you into the theater that way.
I'm not saying the movie looks terrible. I'm just saying the teaser was boring and a huge waste of advertising.

No. I didn't know there was a real trailer. When did it get posted. I could swear I just watched the most updated teasers on, like, Wednesday or Tuesday. I might watch it, right now. I just only saw the teasers & I was commenting on how awful the teasers were.
If you're gonna have an all dialogue teaser, it better be for an already highly anticipated movie. Like the teaser for The Dark Knight.

I posted it here today. Look for my post from earlier today. It's the first full trailer.

Right on. Just watched it. The beginning, with all of the screen shots made me worried it would just be a more artistic version of the teasers. The footage does look pretty damn good, though.
Might be Jessie Eisenberg's first decent movie since the Squid & The Whale (although, hopefully, less overtly disturbing)

Believe it or not, Justin was actually pretty decent in the one movie I've seen him in (Edison Force). I despise him as a singer, but I'll still watch a movie if he's in it because he's not singing.

[GreenScar]

Trailer looks interesting.

[Danger Duck]

At first I was very put off by the idea of a facebook movie until I heard Trent Reznor was doing the score. In his blog he even said that the movie is awesome, and dark. Trent is a man of quality and wouldn't just say that about a movie without truly believing so. Due to this I now have 100 percent confidence in this film. If you don't, listen to the Ghosts album (it's all instrumental) and it will likely change your mind.
I'd watch dog pop roast in a microwave for 4 hours if Trent scored it.

Trent Reznor for best original score at the Oscars!
You heard it first here!

He's actually a pretty good actor. The few movies I've seen him in he's not bad. I actually really liked him in Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan

[PS3-Playb3yond]

Did he create Facebook or a similar website. I don't get the trailer.

He's doing the score, of course he's going to say the film is good! I'm sure Fincher will tell you the same

[Lepidopterous]

Very impressive trailer. I have to say I had my doubts before, but now I will surely go out and see it.

I can't believe somebody can make a movie about FACEBOOK and make it look so interesting. Didn't think someone could pull it off, but from Fincher, I can't say I'm too surprised.
