Second Trailer for “The Social Network” Hits the Web

The first trailer for The Social Network a.k.a. “the Facebook Movie,” didn’t reveal much. Now, the second trailer is out, and… we know perhaps even less.
Featured in the trailer are:

- Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook co-founder and CEO)

- Eduardo Saverin (co-founded Facebook during his last year of the Economics study at Harvard University. His departure from Facebook was the subject of subsequent legal action. He later won the right to have his name listed among the other founders in a lawsuit.)

- Dustin Moskovitz (co-founder of Facebook – left the company in October 2008)

- Erica Albright (no idea who this is, but according to the screenplay a girl Zuckerberg was dating a couple of years ago)

- Divya Narendra (started ConnectU, the social network that sparked the idea for Facebook, with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. ConnectU ended up suing Facebook for stealing the idea and using some of their source code.)

- Tyler Winklevoss (Together with his twin brother Cameron and Narendra, owns ConnectU, previously HarvardConnection. In 2004, ConnectU filed a lawsuit against Facebook alleging that Zuckerberg had broken an oral contract with them. The parties reached a confidential settlement agreement in February, 2008.)

- Larry Summers (Former President of Harvard University)

- Sean Parker (In 2004, Parker began informally advising the creators of Facebook, and became its President when the company incorporated that same year. In 2006, Parker joined the Founders Fund, a venture capital fund based in San Francisco, as Managing Partner.)
