It was only a matter of time before someone made a movie about the social networking phenomenon that is Facebook but most of us probably didn't expect that someone to be…Aaron Sorkin. That's right, NY Mag uncovered Sorkin's recently created Facebook group where he drops this little nugget: "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.)" Most people probably expected a Facebook movie to be a throwaway teeny bopper sex romp but with Sorkin behind it, this thing could actually be good. Wow, that's a little scary.
Extra Tidbit:
Why the drunk girl pic? Because they're the real stars of Facebook.
