Google: The Movie?

Not to be outdone by the upcoming Facebook movie, it looks as though Google is set to be coming to a silver screen near you.

According to Deadline, Groundswell Productions has teamed with producer John Morristo to score the movie rights to Ken Auletta’s book Googled: The End of the World As We Know it, which examines the influence that Google has had on the changing media landscape.

The book will be used as a blueprint for the film which is expected to tell the story of the rise of the search engine giant, and the story of billionaire founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.

“It’s about these two young guys who created a company that changed the world, and how the world in turn changed them,” London recently told Deadline. “The heart of the movie is their wonderful edict, don’t be evil. At a certain point in the evolution of a company so big and powerful, there are a million challenges to that mandate. 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.”

No news has yet been announced about the cast, filming or release of this movie.
