We get our first look at Justin Timberlake as Napster founder Sean Parker in the upcoming Facebook movie, The Social Network.
We also get a peek at what The Social Network will be about. People were puzzled about what a Facebook Movie was going to be about, but now it seems like there was some top notch scheming and drama that went into the birth of everyone’s favourite social network.

Sean Parker was involved in the development of Facebook because right when co-founders Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin were on the precipice of something big with the site, Sean met with Mark secretly, told him to drop Eduardo from the company, and then was secretly hired with a 5% stake in the company. He helped take Facebook global and expand while also effectively pushing out Eduardo so that it could actually take off. It’s more complicated than that, but he’s an integral character.
Sounds like this is shaping up to be quite the story.
