The Social Network - Bonus Material

Nope, this post is not about details of the upcoming DVD/BluRay release of "The Social Network"; it's a collection of great material that came flooding in the fincherfanatic inbox. Thanks to all contributors!

There is an amazing eight part article about The Social Network in the most unexpected of places: Row2k.com, the world's leading community for rowing sports news and info. In their ongoing series, Row2k devote their attention to "Rowing and the Art of the Social Network", that is mostly the experience of David Fincher and crew coming to England to shoot the much talked about Henley sequence of the film.

Then here's a very well done round-up of the music in The Social Network. In case you didn't notice (like myself): Apart from the film's score by Reznor and Ross, there is a total of 18 songs on the film's soundtrack.

The Reelsoundtrack blog put together the list, the scenes, the songs.
Very good.

  1. Amazing article from Dan Boyne about the shooting of the rowing scenes!! That's some great behind-the-scenes material... I didn't realize David Fincher still shouts at people on set and sets in place such a hierarchy.

    Thanks to all the people who regularly send in stuff for us fincherfanatics to read! Great community here, I love it.

  2. Better late then never... I've finally seen "The Social Network" :)

    A lot of stuff have been said already so I'll just point out my favorite things:

    1. The Editing - Holy shit, it's so great. Angus Wall & Kirk Baxter deserve every award there is for their work.

    2. The Writing - I felt like I was attacked by words ;) One great line after another.

    3. The Music - Cool, atmospheric, perfect for this movie. I think it's, as of now, my favorite score from a Fincher film.

    4. The Acting - Everyone was completely believable, very good performances all around.

    5. Sound - For courtroom drama, it sounds pretty cool ;)

    Fincher put together another remarkable movie.

    Cheers.
