BALTIMORE—A movie about the creation of Facebook will shoot in Baltimore for two days next week.
The film is called "The Social Network" and stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, the computer whiz who designed the popular social networking Web site.
It's directed by David Fincher. His last film, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," was originally slated to be made in Baltimore, but the production was moved to Louisiana because of that state's generous financial incentives.
Location manager Bill Doyle tells The Baltimore Sun that bringing the new movie to Baltimore for two days doesn't make up for "Benjamin Button," "but it's a start."
Crews will shoot scenes Monday and Tuesday at Johns Hopkins University, which will stand in for Harvard University.
