‘The Social Network Part II’ In Works At Sony With Aaron Sorkin Set To Write And Direct; Pic Inspired By WSJ’s ‘The Facebook Files’
Aaron Sorkin is on board to write and direct a follow-up to The Social Network based on the Wall Street Journal series The Facebook Files.
Sorkin’s original screenplay for the new movie explores the story behind the Wall Street Journal ‘s The Facebook Files, an explosive series of articles published in October 2021 that exposed the inner workings of — and multiple harms caused by — the world’s largest social network. One can expect every agent in town moving fast to get their rising stars in front of Sorkin for the highly-coveted parts given what the original did for actors including Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. Speaking of Eisenberg, who earned an Oscar nomination for playing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, it is unknown how big a role he will have in this story and whether Sorkin has been in touch with him to reprise the part.
