“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)”
Ok, so let’s put this into a coherent post that doesn’t sound funny: Aaron Sorkin, playwright for two Broadway pieces and writer of five feature films (including last year’s acclaimed ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’), is going to be plotting a *gulp* film based on the creation of Facebook. I..I…I am lost for words. Just breathe…
'Facebook' CEO Mark Zuckerberg
WHAT?!
It sounds ridiculous, I know. I gotta’ say, I was surpr…wait, no, dumbfounded when I read about this just now. This post is not meant to be disrespectful towards Aaron Sorkin, he’s a great writer…I’m just in shock by the decision from all the parts involved to move into something like this, and really hope that they remain artistically motivated throughout all of this. I mean, he didn’t even know what ‘Facebook’ was before accepting the deal. Needless to say, it’s going to be interesting to follow the development of this project from idea to film.
For now, I’ll remain neutral.
