Facebook the Movie – Is This a Joke?
Aaron Sorkin — the guy who wrote films A Few Good Men, The American President andCharlie Wilson’s War as well as TV shows West Wing, Sports Night and Studio 60 — is working with Sony and the producer of No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood to write The Facebook Movie. Either that, or there’s a very dedicated Fake Aaron Sorkin out there, who’s created a detailed Facebook page — going so far as to respond each wall post — in order to fool us all. Writes Sorkin — or his imposter:
“I’ve just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented. 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.)”
No idea is any of this is true, but if so, this is going to be the most boring movie ever made. I can see the sequel now…. Twitter, epic miniblogs in the making. Yeesh.
