Variety reported today that director David Fincher (Fight Club) is in advanced talks to direct the Facebook film titled The Social Network. The film is being produced by Scott Rudin and written by Aaron Sorkin. The plot will apparently revolve around “the evolution of Facebook from its 2004 creation on the Harvard campus by sophomore Mark Zuckerberg to a juggernaut with more than 200 million members.” No other news has been released since.
I don’t know if this would work as anything other then a documentary. If it was a documentary in the vein of say Cocaine Cowboys it might be interesting to see. But I can’t see a drama coming out of the story of Mark Zuckerberg. With David Fincher attached we can all have some hope though.
What do you think of the new Facebook movie?
