Our beloved Quentin has a role in the new film The Social Network, a drama about the massive lawsuit that followed the founding of Facebook.
Last night I watched Selby, Patty Duke & David Soul in the made for TV chiller Grave Secrets (1990), a Poltergeist type of story with less special effects and more character development. No classic, but creepy & well done.
It's a $5.99 DVD available at places like Wal Mart & Walgreens. For such a cheapie, the picture & sound were quite good!

I remember that movie - and I still have the VHS I made the night it originally aired. I should watch it again one of these days.
It's quite interesting what made-for-TV movies get released on DVD and what ones don't...

I ache for a digital release of Curse of the Black Widow, a 1977 Dan Curtis TV film with Patty Duke,
and 1974's now legendary Killer Bees, with Gloria Swanson, Kate Jackson & Roger Davis.
Bees director Curtis Harrington has a huge following as does Curtis, so what gives?
One of the nicest aspects of Grave Secrets was Selby's star status, he was a Hollywood leading man from the time he played Streisand's hubby in 1973's Up the Sandbox until the 1990 demise of Falcon Crest--Grave was his first post-Crest role. As far as I know, it was his last role as a star.
These days, Selby's screen roles are small--me no like that!

I saw the official trailer yesterday in the theater. Not the teaser but one that actually has clips of the movie and David is in briefly
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHkYEC-UfTo
Looks like he is playing one of the FB creator's lawyers. I will be seeing it and it actually looks good, even though Ive heard the running time might be close to 3 hours. [ghost_blink]
-
If the film follows the version of the script that I've seen, then there will be lots of cuts between deposition scenes (and there are multiple lawsuits going on at once) and action scenes, and Selby's character appears to be the attorney of the Winklevoss brothers who have sued Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook multiple times over intellectual property and contractual issues as well as failure to abide by their settlement.

The TV spot for The Social Network has David Selby in the final seconds:

In the new TV adds for the new Jessie Eisenberg movie the Social Network witch is about the launch of Facebook. I think David is playing a Lawyer. David's line in the TV add is "Your best friend is suing you for six million dollars".
-
Hi all just wanted to say i heard from a friend of mine that David will be appearing in a new movie calle " Social Network"
starting Oct1st! Love Anne ( Yummy)! [ghost_smiley] [ghost_tongue2]
-
Yes, I saw him briefly in a commercial for a movie the other day. I think this might have been it.
-
yes i saw the trailer too for it. it looks like a good movie actually. & i have a feeling & i hope i'm right that he has a big part in it.
-
Mr. Selby looks good, aging quite gracefully.
-
for a guy who's turning 70 next year yes he is. though i'm not used to his stark white hair. i'm use to him having some color other than white or grey in his hair. it'd be nice if his movie career did get a boost cause of this new movie he did. i've seen a few of his movies. & most of the ones i've seen of the past few years are his B films.
there was one he did

The first clip to be released from the film has hit the web, and it features David Selby:

Yes, indeed. He's still a fine looking man. [ghost_smiley]
-
Wow - I think it's definitely debatable as to who's the one being condescending in that clip.
It's going to be fascinating to see if there's any sort of backlash against Facebook once this movie comes out. Sure, the story has already been covered in the various print/TV newsmedia and the book - but those are dying media where a sizable portion of Facebook's users are concerned. On the other hand, a movie is quite capable of capturing their attention...
-
Has anyone gone to see this movie yet?
I have no desire, but I didn't know about D. Selby until I read this post.
Was his part cut?

Was his part cut?
Not sure why you'd think that, but the answer is most definitely no.

My 18 year old son who has been to a few fest's saw the movie last night. He said David Selby had a good size part and was in a lot of the movie. He also said the movie was good..
-
With all the attention this film is getting, let's hope the spotlight extends to David's performance- especially within the sight of Academy members.......

Jesse Eisenberg was on Ellen DeGeneres today, and before he came out they showed the clip with David Selby from the link in reply #12. It was almost like having Selby on the show. [hall2_wink]
One thing, though - Eisenberg seems to be laboring under the belief that Zuckerberg created the Internet. Hmmm... Maybe it's just me, but I seem to remember having been on the Internet and quite active at that long before Facebook ever came along. [hall2_undecided]

David Selby plays the Lawyer for the the Winklevoss Twins who are sueing Zuckerberg takeing their idea.

Oh how I wish that had been scheduled to take place during tomorrow's taping when I'll be in the audience! [hall2_tongue]
-
I'll be in the audience!
And it didn't take long to spot you - the very first shot of the audience at the very beginning of the show and there you (and another forum member ;)) were. [thumb]
Imagine if Selby had been there in person during your taping. Though if he had been, I suspect that, as much as you love him, you would have been less "enthusiastic" than Kelli Pickler was for Clint Eastwood. That was an experience Eastwood isn't likely to forget! [lghy]

LOL It's funny you should say that since her behavior reminded me of the fan who sat on Selby's lap while he was in front of a Fest audience... because their reactions were the same-- extreme discomfort.

I finally got to see The Social Network yesterday. If you are a Selby fan GO!!! He is in it alot, at least the first half. The second half his character disappears due to how the storyline is structured and they focus on the founder of Napster (Justin Timberlake) getting involved with Facebook. My big complaint is that the film is 2 hours and it feels it. But the script is pure Aaron Sorkin so if you like his writing you'll like this.
MB, I am assuming that Ellen showed the "faceoff" scene between Selby and Eisenberg. Good stuff! [hall2_grin]
-
i still want to see this. i loved the last tv show he did with "Matthew Perry" a couple years back. it really pissed me off that it got cancelled when it did. but i was happy that it at least got a send off episode.
also i forget the name of the show. he he

Not sure what series you're thinking of because Selby never did a show with Matthew Perry.
The DVD release date for The Social Network was announced today. It will be out on January 11. The film has been getting a lot of awards-related attention in recent days, and, rightly or wrongly, it's being cited as part of the reason why Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg was named Time's Person of the Year. (At this point, I could get really off topic and comment on the pick, but I won't. [santa_angry])

oh i was talking about "Get Real" the show that "Jessie E." was in with "Anne Hathway" sorry for the confusion. it took me a minute to remember what i was talking about. sorry for the confusion. i've heard mix reports on this film. some say it was a good film. others say it's terrible.
