Facebook, The Movie?
The popular social networking website, Facebook.com is slated to come to the big screen. The screenplay, written by Aaron Sorkin (known for his work on the hit t.v. show West Wing) has been completed and the producers are currently working on getting a director and finding actors.
The screenplay, based off the book 'The Accidental Billionaires', will focus on how the website grew to have over 200 million members and will document that amazing journey to the top. Beginning in 2004 when Harvard sophomore, Mark Zuckerberg created the website.

According to Perez Hilton, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg might be played by Shia LaBeouf or Michael Cera.
It is hoped that production will begin later this year.
I don't know about this one, can a movie about a social networking site be interesting enough to hold audience attention for 90 minutes? I can't even spend that much time on the actual website its self, let alone sit through an entire movie about it. Maybe if Shia is the lead, I would see it!
What dose everyone else think?
