Black Swan was such a successful psychological thriller that Hollywood is apparently itching for another dose of mind-fuckery from one of the film's screenwriters, Mark Heyman. And, as it turns out, Heyman has written a screenplay titled XOXO, which will revolve around a Facebook stalker.
According to 24 Frames, the plot is a mixture of Black Swan, The Social Network, and Catfish, with a twenty-something guy meeting a female friend on Facebook only to find out that she's batshit crazily obsessed with him. Heyman is shopping the "upscale genre" script around town, in hopes of garnering financing and distribution. With Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky attached as a producer, he's off to a good start.
Hopefully this new trend of social network movies doesn't give birth to a slew of obnoxious straight-to-Netflix rom-coms or horror flicks with titles like OMG, LOL, BRB, SMH, or...you get the drift.
