In the vein of David Fincher’s upcoming Facebook biopic The Social Network, the rights to a Google movie have recently been purchased, according to Deadline. While Network doesn’t hit ‘til October, could this become the post-Avatar 3D craze all over again? And God’s sake, when will Peter Berg’s Battleship come and stop it from happening?

Nonetheless Groundswell Productions (they gave us Milk and The Informant) and John Morris have begun a business friendship together and bought rights to “Googled: The End of the World As We Know It” by Ken Auletta. The book hones in on Google’s two cannons Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and follows the technology they created as it rises to power. Apparently Auletta’s tell-all harps on the search engine’s impact more than it does the individual lives of its founders.

No plans have yet been made to actually turn this into a movie, and for all we know it could just end up sitting on a shelf somewhere. It’s still a mystery how The Social Network will perform with audiences, or box-office-wise as I’m guessing is the main reason behind this pick-up. Hell, I’m surprised this movie didn’t happen long before Fincher’s. Let’s line up our ducks before we count ‘em.
