Michael tips us this exclusive just posted by Entertainment Weekly’s Nicole Sperling:
David Fincher is in early talks to direct Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook script for Sony Pictures. Sources tell EW that producers are very high on securing the acclaimed director’s involvement on the project, which centers on the drama behind the Harvard dorm room creation of Facebook by founder Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates. Producers Scott Rudin, Mike DeLuca, and Kevin Spacey are hoping to get the film into production this year or first thing next year. The movie would mark Fincher’s follow-up to last year’s Academy Award-nominated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The script, supposedly printed on hard-to-photocopy red paper, is being kept tightly under wraps. All parties declined to comment.
