Slated for an October 1 release nationwide, The Social Network follows the life of 20-year-old Mark Zuckerberg, who is the Harvard dropout responsible for our favorite social networking craving.

Ironic this trailer is released a day after Kanye West does an impromptu performance at facebook’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California… and his hit single “Power” is playing in the background.

None of the founders are said to be involved in the project, but it is adapted from Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal.

Eduardo Saverin, a co-founder of facebook, was a consultant for Mezrich’s book.

The film is being distributed by Columbia Pictures.

TRAILER INSIDE

Would you believe us if we told you we sent Alicia Keys and 50 Cent some giant frames to commemorate all the good times we’ve had over the years?

That she loved hers so much she placed it on her piano and sang us a song? That he ripped his open with the fury of a 7-year-old with the okay to gorge a giant SNICKERS bar?

Probably not… The truth is, the following video is actually a new promotion called fanvideo where anyone can log into their myspace/facebook account and watch their favorite artist (or maybe just one they like on some level) adore their ID for said social network.

Go to http://www.myspace.com/fanvideo and check it out for yourself!
