‘Hatching Twitter’ a new TV series

Twitter doesn’t reach nearly as many people as Facebook. And it has yet to turn a profit. But like the Facebook origin tale, the story behind the rise of Twitter’s microblogging network is a barn-burner. And Hollywood wants a piece of the action.

Film and TV house Lionsgate announced that Nick Bilton’s bestselling book, 'Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal', about the creation of Twitter will become a TV series, in one form or another. Bilton, a New York Times columnist, will write the teleplay and serve as producer.

“I can’t think of a more compelling story to adapt for television right now,” said Lionsgate Television Group Chairman Kevin Beggs in a press release. “Twitter has transformed almost every aspect of our lives from politics to business to friendship.”

The premiere date for ‘Hatching Twitter’ has not yet been announced.
