After the success of movies like The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which both look at how technology shapes our world, director David Fincher has announced the story of Onward State’s founding and subsequent rise for his next project.

The script, titled simply Onward, focuses on the attempts of three college students to take on traditional journalism from a dorm room. Think making a blog is easy? Try fighting Daily Collegian staff members, the administration, ninjas and self-aware server robots while dealing with classes at the same time. The film will be shot in scenic State College, Pennsylvania, as well as New York, Honolulu, Hawaii, and the Amazon river.

Sources have told Onward State that Michael Cera is interested in playing Founder and General Manager Davis Shaver. The role of Evan Kalikow will be created using the same motion-capture technology as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, with Samuel L. Jackson lending his iconic voice. Eli Glazier, who will be attending the University of Southern California in the fall, looks to be kicking off his acting career by playing himself.

Local hip-hop group Primary Element has already started work on the soundtrack. “I know we’ve had some differences in the past, but the Onward State story is so inspiring,” said member Mike Wallace. Look forward to hearing “Onward and Upwards,” “#NotAJournalist,” “Pussy Ponter (ft. Chewi),” “Buckle Up, Yo,” “The Blog Life,” “Dead Before You Know It,” and “Pressed for Words” on everyone’s speakers next year.

Said Shaver, “I can’t wait to see how our approach to journalism translates to film. It’s always been a dream of mine to see a ‘Shaverwood’ sign up on Mount Nittany.”
