Creator of successful productions, such as “The West Wing” and “A Few Good Men,” screenwriter Aaron Sorkin is currently working on o movie about the online social networking site “Facebook.”

Rumors of a new Sorkin production have been confirmed by a Sony Pictures spokesman and by the writer himself, on his own personal Facebook page where he talks about the project, although he admits, the account is more his researcher’s work, Ian Reichbach, because, he admits: “my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.”

The world-renowned network was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 while studying at US university Harvard and it was only restricted to Harvard students, then, as it gained popularity, extended to all Ivy League schools, becoming, later a network for all the American and Canadian students, until it grew into the ever-expanding social phenomenon of 100 million members worldwide.

Although Facebook spokeswoman Brandee Barker did not confirm the project and claims that other filmmakers are also interested by “the Facebook story or the stories of the more than 100 million people who use Facebook to share and make the world more open and connected.”, Aaron Sorkin claims that he specifically created the account in research purposes, this being “the first good step” in understanding “how this works.”

He was clearly convincing enough for more than 4,000 members of the Facebook network who joined his group, as his first words in the description box are “Welcome. I'm Aaron Sorkin. I understand there are a few other people using Facebook pages under my name--which I find more flattering than creepy--but this is me. I don't know how I can prove that but feel free to test me.”

The other Sorkin-related profiles that he mentions are “What if Aaron Sorkin was the Messiah?” “ Aaron Sorkin is a god,” “ The genius that is Aaron Sorkin,” “ Aaron Sorkin for President” and last, but not least: “ I Speak Sorkinese,” along  with other less flattering pages.

In closing, to quote Sorkin’s Post Scriptum on his Facebook welcome note, I feel about this article the way I felt about Sophie's Choice--It could have been funnier.
