@usanewsdesk99: Aaron Sorkin Has Never Spoken to Zuckerberg—but One Question Could Inspire Another Movie Aaron Sorkin has spent 18 years writing about Mark Zuckerberg. He has made two movies about the Facebook founder. But the two have never spoken. If that conversation ever happens, Sorkin knows what he wants to ask: What still motivates someone who already has so much money? “There’s nothing you can buy with $120 billion that you can’t buy with $119 billion,” he told Entertainment Weekly. For Sorkin, that leaves a question his latest film, The Social Reckoning, does not fully answer. The movie follows the events behind The Wall Street Journal’s 2021 investigation, “The Facebook Files.” Jeremy Allen White plays journalist Jeff Horwitz, while Mikey Madison portrays whistleblower Frances Haugen. Jeremy Strong plays Zuckerberg. In the film, Zuckerberg resists changing Facebook’s algorithms despite employees presenting evidence that the platform amplifies extremism. The story portrays his commitment to unrestricted speech as a driving force. Sorkin said he leans toward that explanation himself. But that remains his interpretation of Zuckerberg’s motives. Unlike The Social Network, the new movie focuses more on an investigation than on Zuckerberg’s personal life. That unanswered question could become the starting point for another film. Sorkin said a third installment would potentially return to a more personal story about the founder. For now, it is an idea—not an announced sequel—and the conversation Sorkin wants still has not happened.
