The Social Network dates the start of the website to February 2004, when—according to the "highly dramatized" script—Zuckerberg's girlfriend dumped him and told him his troubles with women weren't related to his being a "tech geek" but "because you’re an asshole." As the business takes off, Zuckerberg drops out of Harvard. After he moves to California, Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became Facebook's first president, supplies Zuckerberg with "groupies." Aaron Sorkin wrote the script for The Social Network, based on Ben Mezrich's tell-all The Accidental Billionaires. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake as Parker, and is scheduled to open in October. Read These Next Tillis, who opposes Trump bill, won't seek reelection.
