October 1, 2010 is set as the release date for the movie 'the social network,' documenting the Facebook creation and dominance in society. I can't think of any movies that have come out dealing with social media, but I'm sure there have been a few unsuccessful ones. This movie though is almost guaranteed to be a hit. first off, it has Justin Timberlake in it. He is the only real celebrity in it which makes the movie more real. Using people who act and look similar to the founders and actual major players in the Facebook game is the best way to reach facebook users who are real people like you and me.
The tag line is suspenseful, claiming "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies." And a movie site states there is suspense, sex, fighting, and punishments all going on.
I wonder if they will choose to market the movie on Facebook itself. I have yet to see anything, but you'd have to think so. This will be advertised mainly by word of mouth. One person will tell a friend who will tell someone else, and so on (kind of like how Facebook connections work!) The only ads I have seen so far is a TV commercial, and that was only once. Expectations are high for this movie, and my prediction: 500 million hits
