Google the Movie?




If you were one of those people who marked their calendars for the premier of The Social Network, then you’re going to want to make space for this as well.

It was recently reported that Michael London’s Groundswell Productions along with producer John Morris intend to acquire the rights to Googled: The End of the World As We Know it, a book by Ken Auletta that chronicles the rise of Google. The book will be used to map out the plot of the movie, which according to London, will focus on Larry Page and Sergey Brin (founders of the company).

“It’s about these two young guys who created a company that changed the world, and how the world in turn changed them.” London states. He furthers, “Can you stay true to principles like that as you become as rich and powerful as that company has become? The intention is to be sympathetic to Sergey and Larry, and hopefully the film will be as interesting as the company they created.”
