Why Hopkins? Besides the loving embrace of the Baltimore Film Office which has welcomed crews for movies like "He's Just Not That Into You," "Live Free or Die Hard" and "Step Up 2: The Streets," it's possible Hopkins could look more Harvard-y than Harvard itself. We spoke to an alumna who knows her way around a film set, and she suggested the Homewood Campus, where "The Social Network" is shooting, is much more architecturally uniform than most of Harvard, giving viewers that Georgian red-brick backdrop they assume goes with the name.
Sadly, cast member Justin Timberlake won't be in town to film -- his character Sean Parker, cofounder of Napster (and first president of Facebook), is based in Silicon Valley, so it wouldn't make sense. But students and bystanders may see "Zombieland"'s Jesse Eisenberg, as Zuckerberg, or Armie Hammer ("Gossip Girl"'s treacherous Gabriel from last season) in a dual role as the Winklevoss twins, Zuck's original employers who later sued him.
Check around Wyman Quad Monday afternoon for a daytime scene -- and don't forget who to send your pictures to before putting them on Facebook!
