Facebook Movie to be Filmed at Johns Hopkins University

Parts of the Facebook Movie: “The Social Network” by Andrew Sorkin will be filmed on the Hopkins Campus in Baltimore starting in November.

Note: I’m very involved at Johns Hopkins University, serving on a number of boards both for the overall University and the Carey Business School. I was in Baltimore for several days last week and I’m very excited that this deal got done and can now be talked about publicly! Also a big congrats to a friend of mine who was very involved in making this happen!

This is really exciting stuff. Not only is it exciting because this will be a great movie, but also because it will hopefully generate more interest among Hopkins students/faculty/alumni in startups. One of the initiatives I have passionately advocated for is setting up better resources university-wide for students interested in start-ups and venture capital. Between Hopkins phenomenal medical, public health, business and engineering schools (among others) more amazing collaboration and spin-outs should be materializing than currently are.

I hope the Facebook Movie and filming will be an additional catalyst toward drawing attention to this.

If you’re a Hopkins alum involved in the startup world, please reach out to me.

    Kind of strange to film it at Hopkins though given the fact that the 4 founders were Harvard students isn't it? If it were a different school I could understand but I wonder how audiences react to not seeing the normal Harvard scenes in the movie.

    Very cool for Hopkins though and congrats to all of those whom helped make it happen.

    These kinds of stuff would really develop interest in the brains of these university students where in some more facebook kind of networking sites would come up in the coming future. Hope so it these university grads would be lucky enough to watch this movie.

    Rumors have been circulating for a while nike air max 1 now regarding a 2010 release of the Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago,” but we have not seen any sort of confirmation in nike air max 2010 the form of catalog images or words from nike air max 95 Jordan Brand representatives. But today, we are extremely proud to present a SneakerFiles nike air max 90 exclusive confirmation that the Air Jordan X (10) will drop this month as a quickstrike release. Not just any Air Jordan 10, but rather the nike air max nl Chicago colorway with 45—the number Michael Jordan wore when he came back from retirement—on the ankle. This colorway of the AJ 10 is one of the most popular styles ever created, and will surely result in lines outside stores for days and may even cause riots. The Air Jordan X (10) “Chicago 45″ will release at only 150 sneaker stores across the United States with each retailer only receiving 23 pairs.
