Filmer Wesley Burleson (who writes over at The Film Fan) rose to the challenge, and his video is embedded below. Yesterday on Twitter, I put out the call for anyone to produce an alternate version of The Social Network opening credits that would use Sorkin's desired song. But today, we have a glimpse into what would have happened if this had been Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network.

Shot through with emotional brutality and unexpected humour. He later commented, 'David didn't just do something different he did something 180 degrees opposite.The way that's shot, the way that's scored, that tells the audience, 'This isn't your father's college movie.'' Indeed, Trent Reznor's haunting score at the beginning is what sets the tone perfectly for the dark nature of the film. David Fincher's The Social Network is the stunning tale of a new breed of cultural insurgent: a punk genius who sparked a revolution and changed the face of human interaction for a generation, and perhaps forever. Originally, it was supposed to be done in one long, continuous shot, but that idea was shelved.Īdditionally, Aaron Sorkin has stated in interviews that he wanted to use Paul Young's cover of 'Love for the Common People' over the opening credits. One of the things that's always interested me about the movie is the opening credits sequence, which has gone through several changes from conception to execution. David Fincher's The Social Network is finally out on DVD/Blu-Ray this week, and it offers a pretty spectacular, in-depth look at the creation of the film ( go here for all our past coverage of the film).
