Oscar-winning actress Mikey Madison, known for her roles in "Anora" and "Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood," along with Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Jeremy Allen White, who has appeared in "The Bear" and will be in the upcoming project "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," Emmy and Grammy nominee Bill Burr, who has acted in "Old Dads" and "The King of Staten Island," and Oscar nominee Jeremy Strong, who has appeared in "The Apprentice" and "Succession," will all star in "The Social Reckoning."
Strong will play the role of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook.
The film is written and directed by Sorkin, and he is also producing the movie alongside Todd Black, Peter Rice, and Stuart Besser.
Production is set to begin next month.
"The Social Reckoning" is described as a "companion piece" to "The Social Network."
It looks at events that happened almost twenty years after a group of young tech innovators created what would become the world's largest social media platform. The film tells the true story of Frances Haugen, a young Facebook engineer, who teams up with Jeff Horwitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter, on a risky journey that leads to exposing the platform's hidden secrets.
Horwitz's reporting, a series of articles called "The Facebook Files," was published in 2021 and revealed how Facebook was aware of the harmful effects of its platform on teenagers and how it spread false information, which played a role in political violence.
The 2010 film "The Social Network," also released in October, was a major hit with both critics and audiences.
It made $226 million worldwide and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including best picture. Sorkin won the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, even though the film was loosely based on Ben Mezrich's book "The Accidental Billionaires." This win was one of the three Oscars the movie ultimately won.
