First Full-length Trailer for "The Social Network" Hits the Web [VIDEO]

Yahoo! Movies has just posted the first full-length trailer for David Fincher's The Social Network.

The new trailer, which you can see above, actually includes some scenes from the film. The last two teasers have only given us a basic glimpse. It features much of the same dialog, but this time with the visual context.

Frankly, we think that it's pretty brilliant.

For those of you unfamiliar with the premise, the film is loosely based on the book The Accidental Billionaires and it chronicles the foundation and rise of Facebook.

Although the film is about the early days of the social network, that doesn't preclude the discussion of privacy and ownership. Sony's campaign for the film is subtly drawing parallels between the issues facing Facebook today and the fictionalized account of its start. We think that's a smart way to kickstart discussion around the movie itself.

As an aside, we also have to give huge props for the music choice in this trailer. It's a cover of Radiohead's "Creep" by the Belgium girls choir Scala.
