The Facebook Movie can finally change it’s status!

The last thing on it’s mind, was a surprisingly happy review praising writer Aaron Sorkin(A Few Good Men) for his Facebook script The Social Network, based off of Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires, which followed the formation of the social networking website.

Now there’s some reasonable cause for some smiley face emoticons and a slew of OMG’s, because EndOfShow reports Columbia Pictures has officially greenlit production on The Social Network.

Production will begin in October on the $47 million budgeted flick. As we’ve posted on their wall before, director David Fincher(Fight Club/Benjamin Button) will helm, with Scott Rudin, Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti producing.

OMG!!!! :)

    I don't understand the appeal of Facebook. I know everyoen uses it but it isn't a great site by any means.

    I will definitely not be seeing this film.

    David Fincher? really? Did something happen? I hope he sobers up or comes to and steps away from this freaking made-for-tv movie.
    47 million dollars? how can a film like this cost more than District 9? There is no part of this news that sounds promising- its just stupidity top to bottom. Its about a freaking website which, in my estimation is a step below doing a movie based on a videogame.

    This will be a very interesting movie that kept me interested from the very beginning..
