The Social Network: what do you think of the first trailer for the Facebook film?

A movie trailer in which you see no images save a brief pixellated mugshot of Jesse Eisenberg is a brave movie trailer. But I'm rather liking this teaser for David Fincher's Facebook film, The Social Network. Partly because it could be some sort of elaborate viral spoof – after all, the script has been doing the rounds online for yonks, and it wouldn't be hard to mimic a few lines of preppy, techie dialogue, nor rip a pic of Eisenberg. I like, too, the way they cheerlead your thoughts about Mark Zuckerberg right from the start – "Punk! Genius! Prophet! Traitor! Billionaire!" yell the caps as doomy brass plods away in the background. I like it most, though, because this sort of small-room sweaty chat vibe seems to suggest Fincher is harking back to the days of Zodiac. Dare we dream that Benjamin Button really was just a blip?
