Oh brother. You think Harvey Weinstein is bad. At least the dude’s got taste. Little Bob, the Dimension Films (B-movies) half is, according to THR, developing “a thriller that involves a teen social networking site as a narrative device.” Gee, that sounds well thought out.
God, so it’s like Facebook the horror movie? The wholly original (straight to DVD?) teen thriller idea is said to, “resemble ‘Ten Little Indians,’ as victims are knocked off one by one, only this time with a Web 2.0 twist.”
“Online social networking is a widespread phenomenon that interests me greatly,” Bob said. Creeeepy, didn’t that guy’s Myspace account get banned? Kidding, but uh, still creepy.
We’re hoping the plot is more meta-wormhole-like with an evil Elijah Wood as Friendster trying to seek revenge on Ryan Reynolds who plays an eye-linered Myspace, who’s trying to trying to save Amber Heard who plays Facebook, but that’s probably asking too much from Dimension.
Is “Twitter: The Movie” next? Excuse us, we have to go wipe up the involuntary vomit we just spewed all over ourselves.
