NATIONAL BESTSELLER ''The Social Network,' the much anticipated movie.adapted from Ben Mezrich' s book The Accidental Billionaires.' -'The New York Times' Best friends Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg had spent many lonely nights looking for a way to stand out among Harvard University' s elite, comptetitive, and accomplished student body. If the book is any indication, the film is going to be a must see. And Hollywood has come calling again: I'm currently working with Dana Brunetti, Scott Rudin, Mike Deluca, and Aaron Sorkin on the movie adaptation of The Accidental Billionaires. It's pure summer fun-a juicy, fast-paced, unputdownable Mezrich tale that adds to his canon of lad lit. The Accidental Billionaires is the perfect pairing of author and subject. Thus, the initial concept of Facebook was born what happened next, however, was right out of a Hollywood thriller. Though the prank nearly got Mark kicked out of college, he and Eduardo realized that they were on to something big. While Eduardo chose the more straightforward path of trying to gain acceptance into one of the school's ultra-posh, semi-secret Final Clubs, Mark used his computer skills by hacking into Harvard's computers, pulling up all the pictures of every girl on campus to create a sort of 'hot-or-not' site exclusive to Harvard. Recreating the unbelievable rise of the world's biggest social network-not to mention the planet's youngest billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg-Ben tells a captivating story of betrayal, vast amounts of cash, and two friends who revolutionized the way humans connect to one another-only to have an enormous falling out and never speak again.Įduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were two geeky, socially awkward Harvard undergrads who wanted nothing more than to be cool. You may think you know the story of the Facebook phenomenon, but you haven’t heard the whole story and never like this. Ben has a gift for finding high-energy, strange-but-true tales and The Accidental Billionaires is no exception. I first met Ben Mezrich when I produced and starred in 21, the film adaptation of his great bestseller Bringing Down the House.
