The Social Network Is Getting A Follow-Up Facebook Will Hate

Fifteen years after Jesse Eisenberg made Fb founder Mark Zuckerberg appear like the socially awkward tech genius he’s in director David Fincher’s The Social Community, the movie’s author, Aaron Sorkin, is again at it once more. Deadline reports that Sorkin will write and direct The Social Community Half II, a follow-up to the 2010 movie in regards to the formation of Fb.

The movie is reportedly primarily based on The Fb Information, The Wall Avenue Journal’s scathing collection of articles in regards to the social media titan printed in October 2021. In these articles, it was revealed that Fb permitted sure accounts to bypass firm insurance policies, dragged its toes in coping with human trafficking networks on the platform, and ignored its personal inner analysis into the hurt Instagram was doing to teenagers’ psychological well being. For the reason that first Social Community created Oscar-worthy drama out of the Winklevoss twins suing Zuckerberg for allegedly stealing their concept—and the Fb head honcho being a dick to co-founder and former pal Eduardo Saverin—this follow-up will certainly have greater than sufficient materials to remind us how deleterious the corporate has been to the world at giant.

It’s vital to notice that whereas the movie is titled The Social Community Half II, sources advised Deadline the film is not going to be a direct sequel to the unique movie. There hasn’t even been any affirmation of Eisenberg returning to reprise his function as Zuckerberg, or that any of the unique forged members will seem. What’s reported is that the movie will contact on Fb’s affect on the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Sorkin has gone on file blaming the corporate for the January 6 attack on the nation’s Capitol.

Zuckerberg didn’t like the first Social Network, and I can’t think about he’ll be too proud of the follow-up—particularly if it basically paints his best creation as a virus on humanity.
