David Fincher directing The Social Network?

Back when Aaron Sorkin announced he was going to write a movie about the birth of Facebook, we thought it might never actually see the light of day. Well, now Sony has David Fincher interested.

Yes, the man who last made The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, is in serious talks to helm The Social Network, which will indeed trace the evolution of Facebook from its early days to its current internet behemoth position.

But it’s not just status updates and friend requests – at least, we’d hope not with Sorkin (below) scripting and Fincher considering the helm.
