Wikipedia Hits the Big Screen in 2008
May 31, 2007
The future looks bright for Wikipedia, which is coming off a slew of TV guest appearances including frequent stops at The Office and Comedy Central. What's next for Wiki? According to David Manning of The Ridgefield Press, the rising star has teamed up with the William Morris Agency and is currently shopping several different movie ideas. Below are vehicles in concept with Wiki attached and all the studios biting.
Working Title: Cupid's Sandbox
Wary 30-somethings, having been hurt too many times before, build trust in a new love while communicating within the Wiki Sandbox, after a chance encounter while carrying out experiments within the safe testing ground.
Working Title: Wikid Game
A troubled youth logs into a version of Wikpedia that edits his own life and must defend himself against those calling for his speedy deletion.
Working Title: Wiki Side Story
The ancient grudge breaks to new mutiny during a Google Dance, where star-crossed lovers share a transcending moment, only to discover that one is a Wiki editor and the other is an SEO.
Working Title: Wikipedia Phil
A Wikipedia editor awakes to discover he is stuck in a time loop which continually ends with all of his edits being reverted to the previous day's version.
Stay on the Wagon for movie updates and trailers.

I heard also in the works:
What About Wiki?
Frank Oz returns to direct Bob Wiley's son, Wiki, who has unfortunately inherited his father's multiphobic obsessive compulsive condition -- but this time, it's online. Wiki becomes insanely obsessed with deleting every image uploaded to Wikipedia.
Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray also return as Bob Wiley and Dr. Leo Marvin, who now live together in a posh Manhattan loft. Bob and Leo get caught up in their endless battle to wear the crown as top Wikipedia Editor and in the process are forced to deal with the ridiculously fast and violent image deletion of Wiki.

Ha! Very nice. Sounds like that might be loosely based on a true story, perhaps . . .
