Transformers star Shia LaBeouf and Arrested Development’s Michael Cera have emerged as the front-runners to play Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, in a new movie about the social network, according to reports.

The film is being written by screenwriter Aaron Sorkin will be directed by David Fincher, who also directed Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It is based on Ben Mezrich's book, The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale Of Sex, Money, Genius And Betrayal.

In the book, due out next Tuesday, Mezrich tells how Zuckerberg came up with the idea for Facebook in his Harvard dorm room, with the help of his friend, Eduardo Saverin.

Zuckerberg then allegedly sold out his partner and was hit with a series of lawsuits from the very same friends who had helped him make the website a global phenomenon.

Really people? A Facebook movie starring LaBitch... Kill us now. Our vote is for cute and quirky Cera.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
