Dave Winer posted a couple weeks ago about Spielberg and the “WikiLeaks movie” movie rights he acquired:

Fascinating news that Steven Spielberg has acquired the movie rights to the Guardian Wikileaks book.

Spielberg is such a serious director, it’s possible his movie might actually capture the substance of Wikileaks, and not be superficial, as, for example — the Aaron Sorkin version of the Facebook story. 

—Dave Winer in his blog, Scripting News: Who will play Assange in Spielberg’s movie?

That last sentence is what I ended up taking away from “The Social Network” movie.  Despite it’s Sorkin-as-usual fast paced witty entertaining dialogue,  I was extremely frustrated with its lack of anything compelling about the actual Facebook origins element.  Instead,  it focused on the caricature of the geek and the Internet,  which Sorkin has elsewhere revealed (see The Social Network: why Aaron Sorkin hates the Internet ).

David Kirkpatrick,  author of The Facebook Effect: The Inside Story of the Company that is Connecting the World wrote about the bad treatment in a Telegraph article, The Social Network: a misleading view of Facebook’s birth . 

So just as Dave hopes/expects that Spielberg may get a screenplay written that more accurately captures the WikiLeaks story and the vision of Assange,  I’d like to see a more accurate capturing of the Facebook vision. Maybe Facebook itself can put it’s muscle behind the effort to tell it’s story.
