Google Movie DetailsAfter the hype surrounding the Facebook movie, The Social Network, and the spoof trailer for the YouTube movie, Google may be having a movie of their own.

Groundswell Pictures and John Morris have already acquired the movie rights to a book on Google, Googled: The End of the World as We Know It.

Details on the movie have not emerged as no writers, directors, or actors have been assigned to the project.

The founder of Groundswell Pictures, who backed the movie Milk, had the following to say about the movie:

It’s about these two young guys who created a company that changed the world, and how the world in turn changed them.  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.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted as details come to light.
