Sony Pictures dropped the first trailer for The Social Reckoning, Aaron Sorkin’s follow-up to his 2010 script that puts Jeremy Strong in the lead as an older Mark Zuckerberg. The companion film shifts focus to Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen and the Wall Street Journal’s reporting, with a planned October 9 theatrical debut.
Strong lands the part
Succession viewers already know Jeremy Strong can channel intensity; here he steps into Zuckerberg’s later years while Mikey Madison plays Haugen and Jeremy Allen White portrays reporter Jeff Horwitz.
Theatrical date locked in
Sony has set an exclusive U.S. cinema run for October 9, 2026, though wider platform details and full production specs remain unannounced at this stage.
Positive users praise Jeremy Strong's casting and voice as Zuckerberg in the Social Reckoning sequel while negative users insult critics and call for Meta to be disbanded over its alleged harms.

I know why this is the arc, because this is the midcurve Sorkin take on reality.
A much more interesting film would be catching up with the early Facebookers and see what they're doing now:
-the lifer VP who doesn't know what else to do in life -the mediocrity working on some flailing vanity startup to prove he was good and not just lucky -the Marin/Hillsborough guy with a rolling fund who 'invests' randomly and mostly just kitesurfs and heliskis while Cybertrucking his kids around to private schools
The banality of wealth, the stasis of technocapitalist post-History. Much more interesting than this midwit crusading bullshit (though I guess there are certainly a few examples of this).
Sorkin doing Social Network sequel is like Coppola doing The Godfather III. Will ruin a perfectly done film.
The only redeeming factor is that we’re about to find out that Jeremy Strong went full method actor and spent 15,000 hours trying to perfect Zuck’s sitting posture.
IM CRYINGGGG why is this so funnyydyhdhdh
wow, Sorkin really went with this callback for The Social Network sequel

@kyliebytes [seeing jeff horwitz] oh my god he’s being played by the guy who voiced Rotta the hutt!!!

@antoniogm yes, the archetypes you're talking about are only known to insiders, outsiders can't compute
@antoniogm need a film covering what's his face's political ambitions - the one with the good looking husband who tried to carpetbag that rural district in new york

@antoniogm @anuatluru the Francis pill is actually just much simpler then this but no one wants to say it

@Richard_She let me tell you about trying to sell a book to a production studio with a non-consensus message...

This is actually very interesting to me. Let’s say you earned effectively “FU” money while at one of these orgs. Now what do you do? Like you say: Some will invest, some will start another thing to “prove” themselves, etc. But what about the guy who “won” and now has no guiding light? Years ago perhaps you were driven by faith or family but I’m not sure those are exactly “in” right now. To live is to struggle.

@kyliebytes ok but the way kendall roy nailed the voice

@antoniogm I’d watch that over whatever this is about. @alexlmiller loves early Sorkin but I can’t stomach Sorkin when he touches our work frankly

@larryfink_jr Baby needs new shoes.

@anuatluru Yep. Sad. The journalists and storytellers have failed.

@antoniogm If someone writes the book, maybe it could be a movie someday. One of my closest friends from hs dropped out of Harvard and made it big at early FB...

@growing_daniel david fincher isnt even involved

@growing_daniel "Meta violated free speech by not censoring racists enough!" How much you want to be this movie contains a scene of a trump supporter drinking bleach or something.

What's interesting about this premise is that Haugen completely backtracked on the claim that inspired the Facebook Files. Her book said she blew the whistle over concerns that Facebook underinvested in safety measures for non-English content; nothing to do with teen mental health.

@film_girl jeremy strong it seems I’ve grown quite fond of you tho there are no sexual urges or desires you come to me as a long lost friend whom I once picked apples with in papa’s orchard

@antoniogm we need a second book from you. you are a gifted writer, no idea why you decided to go the startup founder route
