Comments on: 'Facebook: The Movie': Now, who should play Mark Zuckerberg?

It appears West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin has been commissioned to pen a flick about the red-hot social network. Come speculate wildly on casting!

I think Bill Gates should play Mark Zuckerberg. Yes I know that Bill isn't an actor, but it wouldn't be hard for him to play the role as they both ripped of others stuff and called it their own. Also Bill has more time on his hands as he has stepped down from his full time postion at Microsoft because he is less relevant and he doesn't want to be round when Google's income becomes bigger than Microsoft's.

They kind of look the same too, except Bill is a lot older, but nothing that a good Linux server and CGI couldn't fix.

by zeboone August 28, 2008 8:45 AM PDT: This has to be some kind of horrible joke. A Facebook movie?!?? Is the company seriously this self-serving that they would even consider allowing this? They're a freakin social network...if there's gonna be a Facebook movie, there should surely be a Microsoft, Google, or Apple movie first.; Like this Reply to this comment
