Today, Sony Pictures released the first full-length trailer for the upcoming movie about Facebook, The Social Network. The trailer is the first to show actual footage from the film, and already it's easy to see the film doesn't portray Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a particularly positive light. The trailer uses a remix of the classic Radiohead song, "Creep," in the background, not-so-subtly digging at the privacy issues and questionable ethical background of the social media site. The trailer is embedded below:

Given the revolution in media and social behavior that Facebook has created, do you think the film is fair to portray it in such a negative light? Do you think "creep" is an adequate description of Zuckerberg? Do you think Facebook will suffer any serious negative consequences as a result of this film? Sound off in the comments.
