Check out this adorable new Funny Or Die short featuring our very own Max and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

L’Echarpe is the classic story of man, woman, and scarf which unfolds in this imported French short showcasing the Steven Alan Spring 2012 line.

While visiting Max’ imdb page, I noticed a new film, Vitus, was listed in his filmography. I’ve been digging around for what the film is about, or even any news about it, and unfortunately came up with nothing. Hopefully we’ll get more news about it soon!

Not sure if Max will be there, but here’s the information anyway.

The movie “Ten Year” officially wrapped filming in Albuquerque, NM this week, but they still have one more act of business – The Wrap Party!

Looks like Max will be attending the SAGs this weekend with his Social Network co-stars and, of course, Kate Mara!

On the evening of Jan. 19, EW exclusively went where no press outlet had been been before: to the meeting where Screen Actors Guild Awards producers decided who sits where during the glitzy show, airing live on TBS and TNT this Sunday, Jan. 30. EW watched the SAG team figure out where to put 716 folks (mostly large, boldfaced casts from the nominated movies and TV shows) on the ballroom floor of the Shrine Exposition Center. How do they decide where everyone sits? “We try to be fair,” explains producer Kathy Connell. “If people were all the way in the back last year, we’re going to try to move them up this year. And vice versa.” Here are some tidbits from the night’s decisions:

• The Social Network: With a star-studded cast — Jessie Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Rooney Mara, Max Minghella, and Justin Timberlake — Network gets a prime spot right up front, to the left of the stage. Producers decided to put presenter and SNL alum Amy Poehler at the same table so she could be near fave SNL host Timberlake. Minghella is attending with actress Kate Mara (127 Hours), sister of Network‘s Rooney Mara.

Divya Narendra gives his thoughts about Max being cast as him in “The Social Network”.

What are your thoughts on The Social Network? How accurately is your character portrayed?

I thought the film overall was well done and entertaining. Though there is a certain degree of dramatic license taken, the film is based on real events and is more fact than fiction. The actor who plays me (Max Minghella) pushes for filing suit against Facebook in the movie. Though this element is accurate, I think his personality in the movie is more intense than my actual personality is in real life. I’ve always seen myself as being more of a laid-back type.

Were you happy with the choice of actor?

I was initially surprised to see myself played by an actor who wasn’t Indian. But in the end, I think Max did a good job of pushing the dialogue forward and creating a sense of urgency in what was a very frustrating period.
