Facebook movie filmed at Hopkins will be released in October ‘10

Mashable reports that The Social Network, a movie that has been partly filmed here in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins, will be released on October 15, 2010. The movie based on the book entitled The Accidental Billionaires.

Reminder: movie filming starts Monday at Hopkins

We talked last week about the filming of The Social Network this week at JHU.

B reports that star Justin Timberlake will not be featured in the Baltimore filming and also passes on this tip:

The best chance to see action: Monday, when filming will be held during daylight hours at the Wyman Quad, the lower quad. Hopkins has never doubled for Harvard before. On film, that is.The Baltimore Sun reports that “Button” was almost filmed in Baltimore, but we lost out to New Orleans because of Louisiana’s aggressive film-production incentive program.

Facebook movie starring Justin Timberlake filming at JHU next week

JHU announcements

The Homewood campus will be a shooting location next week for a forthcoming feature film, “The Social Network.”

The Columbia Pictures release will be shooting two sequences on campus on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 2 and 3. The crew will also be on campus on Sunday to prepare for the filming and will be striking and leaving campus on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

All shooting will be outdoors, and primarily at night. The shoot has been scheduled to interfere as little as possible with normal activities. Shooting in the area of two residence halls will take place between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., when most students are still awake. Shooting in academic areas — primarily the Keyser and Wyman quadrangles — will take place after 10 p.m., after most evening classes are dismissed.

There will be one scene filmed during daylight hours, on the Wyman Quad (the lower quad) on the afternoon of Monday, Nov. 2.

“The Social Network” is directed by David Fincher, who was nominated for an Academy Award as best director for his most recent film, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” The scriptwriter is Aaron Sorkin, best known as creator of television’s “The West Wing.”

The film is the story of the founding of Facebook. Much of that story took place at Harvard University; Homewood will be doubling for Harvard in the scenes being shot next week.

The IMDB page for The Social Network says that Jesse Eisenberg is playing Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake is playing Sean Parker, and Andrew Garfield is playing Eduoardo Saverin. Eamon Brooks is rumored to be playing “Bobby.”
