Aaron Sorkin, scribe of fast-paced quips and nervous political banter, might be writing a script about the history of Facebook, according to, um, Facebook. This whole "story" is based around the fact that some guy claiming to work for Aaron Sorkin created a Facebook group early this morning to do "research" on the site.
Sorkin has his own personal message on the board, full of clever one-liners that one would expect for someone who penned Sports Night, and he ends the post by saying "I feel about this introduction the way I felt about Sophie's Choice–It could have been funnier." Ba-dum-dum.
Calling bullshit right now, it's too much a sequel to The Farnsworth Invention, Sorkin's Broadway play about the men who stole the idea for television. Besides, what would a movie about Facebook be about? Mark Zuckerberg writing in his blog and calling people bitches would be hard to translate to film.
Confirmed!
