Columbia Pictures and director David Fincher have picked their cast for The Social Network, the drama about the formation of Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg will play Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerbeg and Justin Timberlake will star as Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became F-book’s president. Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who dissed Zuckerberg as the social network became a phenomenon.

Eisenberg, who went from The Squid and the Whale to Adventureland, has celebrated overnight success himself as he awaits his latest release, Zombieland.

JT was most recently in the film The Open Road.

Production of the film will begin next month in Boston.

Facebook + Justin Timberlake equals social media's takeover of the world. You’ve been warned!

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!
