The companion movie to 2010s The Social Network, The Social Reckoning, is almost upon us. The first teaser trailer has just been released.
Back in 2010, The Social Network was released to critical acclaim and a slew of award nominations. The film starred Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Andrew Garfield played co-founder Eduardo Saverin. The movie portrayed the founding of the social networking website Facebook. Directed by David Fincher, writer Aaron Sorkin expressed enthusiasm for a sequel, stating he would gladly collaborate on the project if Fincher was on board. Nothing came of it for many years. However, one day, it did.
The sequel, The Social Reckoning, hits screens on October 9th. This time, the film is based on the 2021 Facebook leak by whistleblower Frances Haugen. Aaron Sorkin wrote, co-produced, and directed the film. It features a talented cast, including Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong, who steps in for Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg. Notably, neither Zuckerberg nor any other Facebook staff participated in the project. The first teaser trailer for the film has just been released.
