Lionsgate Acquires Genre Tale 'XOXO' From Black Swan Scribe

Lionsgate has picked up the rights to Black Swan scribe Mark Heyman's XOXO, an elevated genre tale set in the world of Facebook.  Darren Aronofsky and Michael London are set to produce the flick through their Protozoa Pictures and Groundswell Productions.


XOXO 's "story follows an on-the-rise executive who despite being engaged, enjoys flirting online, where he meets an alluring woman on Facebook. The two begin a virtual relationship, but as the line between online temptations and real-life possibilities begins to blur, the protag soon discovers that his Internet relationship is seeping into his actual life ... in a deadly way."


XOXO pretty much tells the story of what you experience online and who you meet might not be the same in person. People who lie about themselves and use other images as their own, yes this film has that kind of creepy factor in it.
