Screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin, creator of multiple Emmy Award-winning political drama “The West Wing,” is about to redefine Facebook.

Sorking, who also wrote the screenplay for “Charlie Wilson’s War,” starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, started research for the yet-untitled movie project by opening up a Facebook account of his own.

“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,” he wrote on his page, inviting the Web site’s public to provide him with some useful information with regard to Facebook.

Although not much is known about the future movie, it will concern the founders of the most popular social networking Web site, which has approximately 100 million members worldwide, and it will reportedly be produced by Scott Rudin for Columbia Pictures.

Aaron Sorkin explained that he created his own account in order to find out more about Facebook, although he humorously admitted that the page was started by his researcher, Ian Reichbach, “because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she’s been dead for 33 years.”

Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg while he was a student at Harvard, together with his friends Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. Initially, membership was limited to Harvard students, to subsequently expand to all Ivy League Schools. Finally, Facebook opened up to all universities and high schools in Canada and the United States.

Apart from being the creator of “The West Wing,” starring Martin Sheen as the president of the U.S., Aaron Sorkin also created comedy-drama TV series “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.”
