After the success of The Social Network it was only a matter of time before other online phenomenons found their way to the big screen and currently the people behind the book “Googled: The End of the World as We Know It” are now shopping for a screen writer to bring the Google story to the big screen.
A spokesperson for production company Groundswell told Forbes that the search is on for a writer to adapt Ken Auletta’s bestseller Googled: The End of the World as We Know It into a screenplay, as Aaron Sorkin successfully did for Ben Mezrich’s tale of Mark Zuckerberg and the founding of Facebook.
So no one would have thought of making Google the Movie if it hadn’t been for The Social Network.
And Google wouldn’t have existed if they were not trying to make a better search engine so it makes sense that the writers of a book on Google would try to do one better on the writers of the book about Facebook.
But I would rather see a speculative future storyline where Google is actually the dogma by which all people on earth subscribe to. It can be our religion and the source of any software anyone would ever need.
All of earth’s people united under one governing body, in peace with each other in an open source world of unity.
Then when a crazy zealot that looks like Alan Moore introduces a virus that wipes out anything made by google it can be revealed as the prequel to Mad Max.
I should totally write movies.
