Aaron Sorkin Writing Movie About Facebook

| | Comments (0)

West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin is now turning his attention to writing a feature film about the founders of Facebook:

Sorkin, one of the town's biggest writers and show creators, is in negotiations to write an untitled film project about the founders of the popular social networking site that Scott Rudin will produce for Columbia. Sorkin broke the news on Facebook when he opened up his own account.

The Facebook story would make a serviceable documentary film, but a dramatic one? Someone needs to "poke" Sorkin and tell him this is probably not the best use of his time. Trying to imagine the storyboards for this one: dramatic shots of Harvard students writing html code, culminating in a dance-off with MySpace. Riveting.
