I'm sure DU Facebook users will be able to think of their own ideas for plotlines for this.

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has agreed to make a film about the founders of social networking site Facebook.

Sorkin, who created US TV drama The West Wing and wrote the Tom Hanks movie Charlie Wilson's War, has even opened a Facebook account to aid his research. "I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page," he wrote.

The 47-year-old admitted he did not really understand Facebook, or "how I'm going to write the movie", so was relying on fans to help him.

"I honestly don't know how this works, which is why I'm here," Sorkin said. "If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them as best I can. If anyone has any comments, I'm glad to listen."
