February 8, 2011 - Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass compared to Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg - I'm not sure I completely agree with Moviefone's article comparing the true stories in The Social Network and Shattered Glass but it's definitely worth a read.
Maybe Shattered Glass was ahead of it's time as far as biopics are concerned. Billy Ray's knack for real life drama might make Shattered Glass less commercial but it's much more realistic in it's settings and characters. Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard play it much more real and I've read that people who knew Glass said Hayden's portrayal was spot on. If you want true to life realism in a story watch Shattered Glass.
