The Social Reckoning
The teaser trailer for the sequel to David Fincher’s The Social Network is here — they’re calling the movie “a companion piece” to the first film. It’s based on The Facebook Files:
Primarily, the reports revealed that, based on internally commissioned studies, the company was fully aware of negative impacts on teenage users of Instagram, and the contribution of Facebook activity to violence in developing countries. Other takeaways of the leak include the impact of the company’s platforms on spreading false information, and Facebook’s policy of promoting inflammatory posts. Furthermore, Facebook was fully aware that harmful content was being pushed through Facebook algorithms reaching young users. The types of content included posts promoting anorexia nervosa and self-harm photos.
Jeremy Strong nails Zuckerberg’s voice & mannerisms. The hint of Reznor/Ross at the end is great, though it looks like Alexandre Desplat is doing the music this time around. Aaron Sorkin, who wrote the screenplay for the first film, writes and directs. Out in theaters October 9th.
