“Facebook: The Movie” is a Go
Long before Facebook settled its lawsuit with some of Mark Zuckerberg’s old Harvard buddies, West Wing creator and writer Aaron Sorkin had planned a movie about Facebook that would focus on the early moments when the social network was just a gleam in young Zuck’s eye.
Turns out this project is full steam ahead, and the Facebook crew is none too happy about it. In fact, Facebook sent letters asking former employees not to cooperate or comment on anybody that may be doing research for the film.
The film is to be based on an upcoming book by Bringing Down the House author Ben Mezrich. Some of the leaked pages include stories of Zuckerberg and his friends cavorting with Playboy models and eating koala on Sun CEO Scott McNeely’s yacht, though McNeely says he’s never owned one.
Who cares if it’s true? There’s nothing wrong with a little artistic embellishment. Besides, I’ll watch anything that has Aaron Sorkin’s name on it. I even liked “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”
