Get ready for another Zuckerberg-inspired movie

A comic book based on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is being turned into a short animated film tailored to television.

Hayden 5 Media and Bluewater Productions intend to turn the comic book "Mark Zuckerberg: Creator of Facebook" into a film in the style of the 2006 science fiction work "A Scanner Darkly."

"When we found out that Bluewater was releasing this comic, we knew we had to get on board," said Hayden president Todd Wiseman.

"We saw a great opportunity to re-tell the story of Mark Zuckerberg post 'Social Network' in a brighter, animated form that could be enjoyed and understood by a broader audience."

The film will combine real characters and animated settings with a "comic book aesthetic," the companies said on Friday.
