Aaron Sorkin–who brought us the reliably Democratic The American President, The West Wing, and Charlie Wilson’s War — has spent the last couple years working on adapting odd-ball non-fiction to the silver screen: He wrote the Facebook movie and the screenplay for a film based on Moneyball. But instead of moving on to projects about Twitter or The Tipping Point, Variety reports that Sorkin may be returning to his roots, with a movie about the founding of . . . wait for it . . . Greenpeace. The jokes write themselves. (That said, early West Wing is gold and we all owe Sorkin a debt of gratitude for making Allison Janney and Richard Schiff household names.)
