Even Aaron Sorkin Has A Facebook
Uber-producer Aaron Sorkin made his name by building a fictitious White House administration. Then he moved on to helming a show about fictitious television ensemble. Even though the “fiction” of “Studio 60 on the Sunset Script” was debatable, it still took liberties and made the characters do things that even the original “Saturday Night Players” would’ve shied away from.
Now he’s taking on a non-fictional project, and has even taken the step of being a part of what he’s creating on a personal level. He’s gotten a Facebook, and will probably be friended by at least a couple thousand people within a week. (Edit: No, he won’t. His account is not linkable and you can’t request to be his friend. Boo!
Sorkin told Variety that he set up his account for research purposes, as he plans to write a Columbia Pictures film about the birth and evolution of Facebook. The focus will be on how a site set up by Harvard sophomore Mark Zuckerberg has now become a company with an estimated worth of $16 billion.
Good luck with the research, Sorkin. But go ahead and do yourself a favor by blocking most of Facebook apps. It really cuts into your writing time to accept Growing Plants and to decide whether you’re a zombie or a vampire.
