Facebook Movie in the Works
PrintAccording to Variety, Columbia Pictures is putting the pieces in place to release "The Social Network," a film about the formation of Facebook. David Fincher appears to be the front runner to direct the new flick, who's previous works include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Panic Room, Fight Club, and others.
As for the movie itself, Variety says the film will focus on the 2004 creation of Facebook by then Harvard sophomore Mark Zuckerberg and follow the social networking site's evolution to where it is today, over 200 million members strong.
This isn't the first time social networking has been linked to Hollywood. A Twitter-based reality show is also said to be under way, which will seek to "put ordinary people on the trail of celebrities in a revolutionary competitive format."

This is so flucking stupid! I hope that it bombs so badly at the boxoffice, that it gets pulled from theaters, and no one wants to pirate it. This is just sad... so very sad...

Stories like this are meant to be made into documentaries that air at some obscure early hour on History Channel 70+ years after the event and close to, or right after, the person(s) in question have died.
Crap like this is NOT meant to be made into a Hollywood movie.
That being said, Western society has degraded to a point where this film will likely do quite well, in which case I will die a little more that day.

They are trying too hard. I will boycott this movie for the simple fact I don't think it should be made. It will give other people ideas for stupid movies. What next? The Land Of Tweets ( twitter)? *rolls eyes*
