Aaron Sorkin 'Sorry' THE SOCIAL NETWORK Upset Mark Zuckerberg

Aaron Sorkin has spoken out on THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and how it portrayed Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, according to The New York Post.

Earlier this month, Zuckerberg admitted he wasn't too keen on how he was portrayed in the film earlier this month as part of a Facebook Q&A, saying it hurt his feelings.

On TODAY this morning, Sorking said: "I'm sorry that it did."

"They just kind of made up a bunch of stuff that I found really hurtful," Zuckerberg said during the Q&A. "They made up this whole plot line about how I somehow decided to create Facebook to attract girls."

Sorkin is an Academy and Emmy Award winning American screenwriter, producer, and playwright, whose works include A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing, Sports Night, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Charlie Wilson's War, The Social Network, Moneyball, and The Newsroom.

In television, Sorkin is known as a controlling writer who rarely shares credit on his screenplays. His trademark rapid-fire dialogue and extended monologues are complemented, in television, by frequent collaborator Thomas Schlamme's characteristic directing technique called the "walk and talk". These sequences consist of single tracking shots of long duration involving multiple characters engaging in conversation as they move through the set; characters enter and exit the conversation as the shot continues without any cuts.
