A movie dealing with the creation of Facebook is currently in the works.

Aaron Sorkin, the man behind “The West Wing,” has been signed as the writer. And it looks like David Fincher – “Fight Club” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” – may be tapped to direct it.

You probably know by now that Facebook came about when Harvard sophomore Mark Zuckerberg hacked into the school’s computers, and used a bunch of girls’ photos to put together a “Hot or Not?” page. Facemash – as he called it – was launched in October 2003.

We can skip over the part where Zuckerberg faced expulsion for breaching security, violating copyrights and violating individual privacy. (The charges were eventually dropped).

What matters, of course, is that Facemash became Facebook by the following year – and it’s now the biggest social networking site in the world.

No word so far on when work will begin on the movie. But we’ll keep you posted – or you can just look it up on Facebook.
