Teaser trailer for 'The Social Network' gets ominous

And by ominous I mean boring.  The first trailer for the film about the founders of Facebook has hit the net and it's doesn't bode well for the film.

So far I've been incredibly underwhelmed at what we've seen from this film.  The poster was a jumbled mess and uninspired, but the just announced teaser trailer might even be worse. 

Typically the teaser trailer is the first time we get to see footage of the film, and it's a good way to get audiences excited.  Apparently these filmmakers weren't aware of this.  The teaser trailer shows absolutely no footage from the film.  In fact all we get to see is a black screen that flashes words across the screen as audio clips from the film are played in the background. 

On top of that the teaser makes the film seem incredibly dark and ominous and supposedly makes the founders of Facebook look bad.  This is opposed to the book (The Accidental Billionaires) upon which the movie is based on, which takes a comedic approach to the subject matter. 

Either way the trailer doesn't exactly make one want to see it, and I'm seriously starting to question the marketing strategy of this film.  It's almost like they don't want people to watch it.
