So now we will have Hollywood vomiting Facebook as well.

The movie is set to be released in October this year. It’s one movie I am looking forward to …… not.

The movie is based on the book by Ben Mezrich titled The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook and God knows what else. The book is based on the new centuries phenomenon, the story of Mark Zuckerberg, the founding of Facebook alongside its co-founder Eduardo Saverin and how it was money and not a woman that divided the two friends.

I know I exaggerated that too much but reports state that the move has already been made and Twitter has joined forces with Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Reveille Productions and will not have any scripts. Let’s just wait and see how this turns out to be, I just hope it isn’t confined to 140 seconds bursts.
