Write What You (Don’t) Know: Sorkin Confirms Facebook Movie Rumor

by Robyn Schneider | September 2, 2008 at 9:03 pm

The notoriously internetly-inept Aaron Sorkin, writer behind Studio 60 and The West Wing, recently confirmed rumors that he is working on a screenplay for Producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures about how Facebook was invented. In case you don’t have enough friends on Facebook already, Sorkin (or his assistant, or hapless recent-college-grad intern or whoever) has set up a Facebook page and group! Go on, tell him your most embarrassing Facebook stories–they might wind up in the movie.

Or maybe they won’t–rumors abound that Sorkin’s Facebook movie is actually an adaption of a forthcoming book called Face Off by none other than Bringing Down The House author Ben Mezrich. According to 02138, sources “close to the deal” report that Sony and Rudin optioned Mezrich’s forthcoming book, which purportedly sold for a staggering seven-figures over the summer.

Guess we’ll have to wait and see what’s really going on here. But, the really pressing question is, who do you guys think should play Mark Zuckerberg in the movie?
