Mark Zuckerberg, the man responsible for the worldwide phenomena of Facebook, may soon face privacy issues in real life.

According to Times Online, a film about Zuckerberg will be shown in October. The movie depicts his life as a billionaire geek who is a sex-mad "borderline-autistic" conniver.

The Social Network, directed by David Fincher from the Fight Club, was adapted from Ben Mezrich's novel The Accidental Billionaires.

It starts with Zuckerberg battling with twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the early financial supporters of the uprising social network, at a court hearing, thus giving birth to Facebook.

Jesse Eisenberg, from the Zombieland, portrays Zuckerberg, with Justin Timberlake playing Napster creator Sean Parker.

The film is said to be a dramatisation, however, it has sensitive contents that may bring a great deal of uneasiness to Zuckerberg, one of which is the suggestion that Parker preyed on his sexual insecurity by helping him accumulate "groupies".

Zuckerberg is challenged with increasing resentment after news of his apathy toward users spread. Last week, a message exchange was released wherein he referred to the users of TheFacebook as "dumb f**ks" for giving him their personal information. TheFacebook is the original network of the social site.

The Social Network shows that specific part of Zuckerberg's life in full detail. It also narrates his return to the dorm at the Harvard University after his girlfriend Erica had dumped him.

In the movie, Erica tells him that he will go through life thinking that girls don't like him because he is a tech geek.

"I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true," she tells him, then adds, "It'll be because you're an asshole."

Times Online describes Zuckerberg as "horrified" because of the negativity that both he and Facebook are receiving.

The site has a policy to never engage in gossip about its creator's private life, however, The Social Network is about to change that and break into the founder's personal life.
