There's a lot of internet whispering going on about Facebook game 'FarmVille'.

Apparently the people behind Toy Story are in talks with the maker of FarmVille to give the Facebook game the full movie treatment.

For those of you who aren't familiar with FarmVille, it's a social media game which involves various aspects of farm management like ploughing land, planting, growing and harvesting crops, harvesting trees and bushes and raising livestock.

How accurately the game portrays the real farm experience is debatable, not least because you can play without stepping outside your front door.

However, one thing's for sure. If the number of gamers (at its peak nearly 32.5 million people a day) can be matched by movie-goers, then FarmVille will be one of the richest 'farms' around. Especially at the prices my local cinema charges.
