With “to Google” entering the vernacular across the globe as a synonymous term referring to conducting an online search (much as “to hoover” is used to mean “to vacuum), it was only a matter of time before Google hit the media big time and became a movie star.</p> <p>Google to “star” in raunchy movie</p> <p>Well, now it’s happening, although Google bosses may not be thrilled with the outcome. The new movie is not a fact-based history of the search goliaths’ origin along the lines of Facebook’s “The Social Network” but is instead a lewd comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.</p> <p>The “Wedding Crashers” alumni are currently filming “The Internship”, pegged for release in 2013, in which they play 40-something men who lose their jobs and somehow manage to land themselves internships at Google, working for John Goodman. Georgia Tech is providing a suitably shiny and glass filled set, with one student posting snaps of the famous logo and suitably wacky squishy beanbags from one location on Reddit. </p> <p>Google unlikely to play official role in production</p> <p>The film is unlikely to provide much insight into the back lot, as it were, of Google itself; it remains unclear at present what, if any, official input Google have into the movie at all. Instead the film will be an “R-rated comedy” according to star Vaughn, where they “get free food…play ping ping…take naps”. Nice to see the stereotypes of Silicon Valley tech jobs still persist even in these cash-strapped days.<br />
