Come to think of it, any one of three from the movie Superbad could play Zuckerberg.

You made Se7en, one of the most twisted psychological dramas ever made, Fight Club, one of the most strongly pro-Anarchy films ever to blast its way into Hollywood.... now you are directing...

by Harrison912 June 24, 2009 9:18 AM PDT: I use FaceBook mainly for socially marketing my safety and security web site so anything FaceBook interestes me. I don't think this movie will be a blockbuster but lots of people will be curious and go see it. I just wonder how it will end. Thanks, Caroline, for this information.; Like this Reply to this comment

Maybe Sorkin could call Tina Fey to help since Studio 60 was a bomb and 30 rock was a hit and both were based on the flimsy premise people would care about the stories of personalities behind the scenes of Saturday night live.; Like this Reply to this comment
