Facebook The Movie

Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook has become a major player on the glowing screen. Next stop? The big screen.

Sony Pictures and producer Scott Rudin are said to have contracted with Aaron Sorkin--writer of movies such as A Few Good Men and Charlie Wilson's War and for the television series West Wing and Sports Night--to write a script about the genesis of Facebook.

Sorkin's script, dated May 28 and obtained by Forbes, is titled The Social Network. It's the story of Zuckerberg, "a sweet-looking 19-year-old whose lack of any physically intimidating attributes masks a very complicated and dangerous anger."
