All Facebook posted an article about the current filming of David Fincher's 'The Social Network':

Last week we wrote that Johns Hopkins would welcome the crew of "The Social Network" this week as they'd be filming in front of some of the dorms. Today photos of the shooting are rolling in from Twitpic including shots of Eamon Brooks and Jesse Eisenberg, two of the film's main characters. [ read more ]

I'm quite certain that one of the actors in the photos is Jesse Eisenberg, but I'm not too sure that the other one is Eamon Brooks. I believe it'sAndrew Garfield. I maybe wrong of course... So try to look at the photos please....

On the actors, here's our take:

Andrew Garfield, who was exceptional in Boy A, would be an awesome addition to any cast. A big winner at the recent BAFTAs, Garfield will next be seen in Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. It makes me quite happy that with this new project, I'll be able to see how Garfield reacts with such director as David Fincher, and maybe even surpass his work in Boy A. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this casting news will push through.

Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin the one who figured that their ticket to social acceptance and sexual success was getting invited to join one of the university's Final Clubs, a constellation of elite societies that had groomed generations of the most powerful men in the world and ranked on top of the inflexible hierarchy at Harvard.

Jesse Eisenberg, is perhaps the most under-rated young actor in America. But things are, indeed, looking much better for 'The Squid and the Whale' actor. The lead role in the new David Fincher film would be a great opportunity for Eisenberg to show just how awesome he is as an actor. With more than 7 new projects including Zombieland, Holy Rolers and Kill Your Darlings, Eisenberg is on his way up!

Eisenberg is Mark Zuckerberg, the computer genius, who hacked into the university's computer system, creating a ratable database of all the female students on campus-and subsequently crashing the university's servers and nearly getting himself kicked out of school. In that moment, in his Harvard dorm room, the framework for Facebook was born.

About the book where the movie is based: Here are the details about the book via Random House:

The high-energy tale of how two socially awkward Ivy Leaguers, trying to increase their chances with the opposite sex, ended up creating Facebook.

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergraduates and best friends-outsiders at a school filled with polished prep-school grads and long-time legacies. They shared both academic brilliance in math and a geeky awkwardness with women.

Eduardo figured their ticket to social acceptance-and sexual success-was getting invited to join one of the university's Final Clubs, a constellation of elite societies that had groomed generations of the most powerful men in the world and ranked on top of the inflexible hierarchy at Harvard. Mark, with less of an interest in what the campus alpha males thought of him, happened to be a computer genius of the first order.

Which he used to find a more direct route to social stardom: one lonely night, Mark hacked into the university's computer system, creating a ratable database of all the female students on campus-and subsequently crashing the university's servers and nearly getting himself kicked out of school. In that moment, in his Harvard dorm room, the framework for Facebook was born.

What followed-a real-life adventure filled with slick venture capitalists, stunning women, and six-foot-five-inch identical-twin Olympic rowers-makes for one of the most entertaining and compelling books of the year. Before long, Eduardo's and Mark's different ideas about Facebook created in their relationship faint cracks, which soon spiraled into out-and-out warfare. The collegiate exuberance that marked their collaboration fell prey to the adult world of lawyers and money. The great irony is that while Facebook succeeded by bringing people together, its very success tore two best friends apart.

The Accidental Billionaires is a compulsively readable story of innocence lost-and of the unusual creation of a company that has revolutionized the way hundreds of millions of people relate to one another.
