Social networking thriller in the works

[Perdita]

Dimension Films will make a horror thriller based around a teen social networking website.

The untitled movie is based on an idea from Less Than Perfect actress Sara Rue and her producing partner Robert Green. A tight lid is being kept on the storyline, though it is set at a high school and takes inspiration from Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians.

Bob Weinstein, co-chairman of Dimension's parent firm The Weinstein Company, said: "Online social networking is a widespread phenomenon that interests me greatly. Combining it with a suspense thriller is a new and fresh way to explore this new trend."

T.S. Faull, who has been commissioned to write the script, added: "Social networking is alluring but one always takes a risk when engaging on these sites. Online identities can be deceptive and the script will centre on a social networking situation with truly dangerous consequences."

That sounds most interesting

Sounds good. Was only a matter of time before a film was made.

hmm it sounds good but they will have to be careful, depending on whats its about,

I mean it was only last week when that man in manchester killed his ex due to social networking and that was how he found his women, he was a complete psychopath, we dont wantto give anyone any ideas.

It's interesting how in 2007 I wrote a social networking thriller script, which I submitted to certain companies/ agents in the industry and it was rejected by everyone. Funny how when you're in positions of power people take you more seriously. This sucks and I hope uncle Bob's movie fails, and fails badly.
