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.

I've just agreed to write a movie for Sony and producer Scott Rudin about how Facebook was invented. I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more Internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.)

Some of you might be familiar with some things I've written. I'm the author of two Broadway plays--A Few Good Men and The Farnsworth Invention, five feature films--

Now Spacey is producing another Mezrich adaptation about another whiz kid who made a big bet and became a billionaire: "The Social Network," based on the writer's brand-new book, "The Accidental Billionaires," tells the story of how Mark Zuckerberg turned a little dorm-room project into Facebook.

When MTV News had a chance to speak with Spacey, who was promoting his Hollywood therapist flick "Shrink," the Academy Award-winner dished the inside scoop about when they'll be announcing a director, who might portray the 25-year-old Zuckerberg, and if he'll have a role in the film.

 

 

"I doubt it," Spacey said of appearing in "Network," which was written by "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin and which Spacey thinks might go into production this year.

Coke on Boobies stays in the film.

After tense, months-long talks with Facebook executives, filmmakers behind Facebook flick The Social Network have decided to keep a scene involving cocaine and boobs. Did Facebook finally realize it will never again look this sexy?

 

The company had reportedly been complaining about inaccuracies in the film. But now, the Hollywood Reporter's Matt Belloni and Allison Hope Weiner write, the controversial coke scene is going forward under producer Scott Rudin and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin. The script is based on Ben Mezrich's book Accidental Billionaires, which contained similarly racy scenes, including one in which co-founder Mark Zuckerberg took home a Victoria's Secret model.
