Coming soon... Facebook: the movie? Um, what?

West Wing writer Aaron Sorkin is planning a movie about the creation and rise of Facebook.

Sorkin opened an account on Facebook on Wednesday and admitted to being a little in the dark about the site's workings:

!I understand there are a few other people using Facebook pages under my name - which I find more flattering than creepy - but this is me," he wrote. "I don't know how I can prove that but feel free to test me.

"I figured a good first step in my preparation would be finding out what Facebook is, so I've started this page. (Actually it was started by my researcher, Ian Reichbach, because my grandmother has more internet savvy than I do and she's been dead for 33 years.)"

Sorkin wants Facebook members to send him interesting stories they might have about the site though curiously it doesn't seem possible to add him as a friend right now.

Two questions: Who should play Mark Zuckerberg, and does this sound like a terrible idea to anyone else?
