David Fincher in talks to direct Facebook movie

A movie about Facebook sounds like a really cool project. It will be entertaining to learn how the social networking site started and grew to such a huge thing.

Last August, I posted about how Aaron Sorkin and producer Scott Rudin were developing the project. Now we know a little more about it.

Specifically, it’s a drama surrounding Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his roommates when they created the cyber-phenom in their Harvard University dorm.

Now David Fincher (pictured) is in early talks to direct the movie. He’s probably be a good choice, coming off last year’s hit "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." He also directed one of my favorite movies from 2007, "Zodiac," and has six projects in the works, including "The Killer" and "Black Hole."

Mike DeLuca and Kevin Spacey are also onboard as producers. The script, of course, is a closely guarded secret.

Are you psyched about a Facebook movie?
