The Facebook phenomenon is continuing to move into the cinematic realm, with singer Justin Timberlake starring Sean Parker, the social networking Web site’s founding president, reports Variety.

The movie, tentatively named “The Social Network,” will also star Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder who had a falling out with Zuckerberg.

The Columbia Pictures production will be directed by David Fincher and will highlight the formation of Facebook, the phenomenon behind it, and how success and wealth changed the lives of the friends who founded it.

Timberlake’s involvement in the film brought mixed reactions from tweeps:
