>Sony Pictures describes the movie, which Sorkin is both writing and directing, as a “companion piece” to 2010’s The Social Network. (David Fincher is not returning.) Jeremy Strong is taking over the role of Mark Zuckerberg from Jesse Eisenberg, but the film will reportedly center on Mikey Madison’s Frances Haugen, the whistleblower whose leaks to The Wall Street Journal drew attention to, among other things, the platform’s lack of regulation around anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, its negative impacts on the youths, and Meta’s quiet dismantling of an internal anti-misinformation initiative, which she argued enabled the attack on the U.S. Capitol — hence the J6 reenactment, which will be just one of several threads but certainly adds to the dramatic stakes
