The Social Network, which basically tells the story of how Facebook came to be, comes out on October 2010. Now we may have another “popular internet success story” turned into a film.
Producer Michael London (SIDEWAYS) has optioned the rights to the book “Googled: The End of the World As We Know It,” which tells the story of Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. While SOCIAL NETWORK is a somewhat unflattering portrait of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, GOOGLED would be nicer to its subjects. One of Brin and Page’s credos while starting the company was “You can make money without doing evil” and the movie will focus on how two “nice guys” made one of the most popular and successful companies in the world.
Hey, like I said when TSN was announced. I’ve always like movies like this, one’s that give you an insight into what goes on “behind-the-scenes” for an idea/product to become a moneymaking popular success. If The Social Network does make good decent money, and it somewhat garners good reviews, we might see this Google film fast forwarded. Again, I have no problems with movies like these ones. Bring it on! I’d watch it.
Would you be interested in watching a movie about Google’s creation and development?
