Facebook: The Movie Aug. 27, 2008
Source: NY Mag
by: Omar Aviles

Facebook drunk girl pic It was only a matter of time before someone made a movie about the social networking phenomenon that is Facebook but most of us probably didn't expect that someone to be…Aaron Sorkin. That's right, NY Mag uncovered Sorkin's recently created Facebook group where he drops this little nugget: "I've just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented. I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.)" Most people probably expected a Facebook movie to be a throwaway teeny bopper sex romp but with Sorkin behind it, this thing could actually be good. Wow, that's a little scary.

Extra Tidbit: Why the drunk girl pic? Because they're the real stars of Facebook.

ZZZZZZZ
What next? Myspace, Ebay or (god forbid) 4Chan?!

I liked Pirates of Silicon Valley but I can't see this working out in the same fashion.

MARK ZUCKERBERG IS A THIEF
He stole the source code for Facebook from Connect U and doesn't deserve a movie about his life.

NO REALLY
I wanna spend my hard-earned ten bucks on this film. It will easily break TDK's BO record for sure.

Did I even spell that right?
Anyway, I see what some of you said. But think about it; the creators of Facebook probably sat in their dorm rooms late at night fiddling with code, and spent a few daylight hours on the phone with their lawyers. I'm sorry (actually, I'm not) but there's no way in hell that can make for an interesting movie - UNLESS Sorkin tosses in a bunch of bullshit to make it more interesting, in which case, it'll be so far from the truth that there's no point in the movie specifying that it's about Facebook. Sorkin can just say it's INSPIRED by Facebook, but in the movie the social network can have a new name like "CamWhores", or "EmoDouche", or "Underaged Moms And Their Pouty-faced Photos".

yeah wtf is all this backlash, this seems like it is more like a self-made billionaire movie, kinda like 21 mixed with The Pursuit of Happyness, it could be pretty good.
He doesn't need to know what Facebook is, just the story of Mark Zuckerberg, which is quite interesting, many articles were written about it

yea, but pirates is something new and amazing and happened years ago so there was time to see if it became something big.

this is just too much too soon for a shitty site that way too many people like.

It's not as bad of an idea as you all are making it out to be. There is a lot of controversy regarding the beginning of Facebook as to whether or not Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea.

The idea seems to be in the same vein as Pirates of Silicon Valley.
