Facebook the Movie - Coming to theatres near you!

Yes it's true, there is a movie being created about the global phenomenon we all know as Facebook. Aaron Sorkin, the creator of 'The West Wing', has agreed to apparently write the movie for Sony Pictures studio Columbia, and has even started up a Facebook group to discuss the film with users of the site.



It will tell the story of how Mark Zuckerberg along with Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes, three Harvard grads, founded the site, and how it grew into the success it is today.

It will be interesting to see how the movie develops, and I will be sure to keep you up to date with any news. I also wonder if this will spark any other spin-offs e.g. Google, Youtube (although i doubt it).
