The highly anticipated follow-up to “The Social Network 2” has just received another significant update, over a week since its confirmation. Renowned director Aaron Sorkin will once again take the helm for the sequel, also penning the script himself. In recognition of his outstanding work on the 2010 biographical drama film, Sorkin was awarded his first Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. At present, neither the cast nor a release date has been officially announced for this new project.
What is the new plot details for The Social Network 2?
In contrast to the original movie, “The Social Network Part II” will not primarily revolve around the story of Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder. Instead, the sequel will delve into the life of Frances Haugen, a former Facebook product manager who made headlines in 2021 by blowing the whistle on Facebook. She was responsible for leaking internal documents that uncovered Facebook’s involvement in the dissemination of misinformation, the rise of hate speech, and the detrimental impact on teenagers’ mental health on the social media platform.
Sorkin’s screenplay is said to be inspired by two Wall Street Journal articles: “The Facebook Files”, a collection of reports based on leaked internal documents from Facebook/Meta, and “Frances Haugen: The Facebook Whistleblower, Aiming to Fix the Company, Not Harm It”, an article detailing Haugen’s motivations for revealing these documents. Following their publication, Haugen appeared before various committees, including the United States Senate Commerce Committee, the British Parliament, and the European Parliament, to discuss her findings.
The 2010 film primarily focused on the development of Facebook and the intricate relationship between Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin, portrayed by an impressive cast that included Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella, Brenda Song, Rashida Jones, and Rooney Mara. At the time of writing, it boasts a remarkable 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
