Well this is a paragraph, from The Register, I honestly never though I’d read:

Be afraid, be very afraid - Sony has asked West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin to write a movie about how internet superphenomenon Facebook was spawned, and by way of research he’s waded straight in with a group page down at the social networking website.

I’m not entirely sure how a movie about the creation of Facebook would work. It’s clearly going to need to focus on the creators rather than the product, but it’s not a story I ever really imagined being transformed into a movie. It’s not the most transfixing of tales.

Guy and his friends create web app. People sign up and use it. emmm……… office productivity plummets…. The End.

I’m a big fan of Aaron Sorkin, so in that respect it will be interesting to see how he tackles the project. I just can’t imagine how it’s going to be good though.
