Columbia Pictures is in advanced talks with David Fincher to direct The Social Network, the Aaron Sorkin-scripted film about the formation of Facebook, reports Variety.

The film will focus on the evolution of Facebook from its 2004 creation on the Harvard campus by sophomore Mark Zuckerberg to a juggernaut with more than 200 million members.

Scott Rudin and Michael De Luca and Trigger Street are producing for Columbia Pictures.

This kinda seems pretty low-key for David Fincher. Pretty much on par for Aaron Sorkin though.

Wow. Fascinated to find out what it is Fincher sees in this, and how Sorkin approached the material.

Making a movie about the formation of something that has changed culture? Yeah, THAT'S never happened before. It's not about status updates and the like, you twits.

That's a super-odd choice considering Fincher's past work....but I withhold judgment, as any Dr. Optimist should.
