In a 2009 interview with the Baltimore Sun Eisenberg said, "even though I've gotten to be in some wonderful movies, this character seems so much more overtly insensitive in so many ways that seem more real to me in the best way. I don't often get cast as insensitive people so it feels very comfortable: fresh and exciting, as if you never have to worry about the audience. Not that I worry about the audience anyway - it should be just the furthest thing from your mind. The Social Network is the biggest relief I've ever had in a movie." [b]Filming[/b] The Social Network began in October 2009 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Scenes were filmed around the campuses of two Massachusetts prep schools, Phillips Academy and Milton Academy. Additional scenes were filmed on the campus of Wheelock College, which was set up to be Harvard's campus. Filming took place on the Keyser and Wyman quadrangles in the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins University from November 2–4, which also double for Harvard in the film. From November 16–22, scenes were filmed at California State University, Dominguez Hills [b]Music[/b] On July 1, 2010 it was announced that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would score the film. [b]Response[/b] The film's script was leaked on the Internet in July 2009. In November 2009, the film's producer Kevin Spacey said "The Social Network is probably going to be a lot funnier than people might expect it to be. The Cardin Courier stated that the film was about "greed, obsession, unpredictability and sex" and asked "although there are over 500 million Facebook users, does this mean Facebook can become a profitable blockbuster movie?". At the D8 conference hosted by All Things Digital on June 2, 2010, host Kara Swisher told Zuckerberg that she knew that he was not happy with The Social Network being based on him, to which he replied, "I just wished that nobody made a movie of me while I was still alive." Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz called the film a "dramatization of history...it is interesting to see my past rewritten in a way that emphasizes things that didn't matter," he said. According to Moskovitz, "A lot of exciting things happened in 2004, but mostly we just worked a lot and stressed out about things; the version in the trailer seems a lot more exciting, so I'm just going to choose to remember that we drank ourselves silly and had a lot of sex with coeds...The plot of the book/script unabashedly attack [Zuckerberg], but I actually felt like a lot of his positive qualities come out truthfully in the trailer (soundtrack aside). At the end of the day, they cannot help but portray him as the driven, forward-thinking genius that he is."
