New THE SOCIAL RECKONING Trailer Sees Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White Take on Facebook
A new trailer has been released for the Social Network follow-up film The Social Reckoning, from Academy Award winning writer/director Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, The West Wing, The Trial of the Chicago 7).
The film stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong.
The synopsis reads: “A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files.
“The film is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.”
Sorkin wrote The Social Network, so this film feels very similar tonally, and it continues the story of what Facebook has morphed into since its creation.
This looks really well done, and I’m intrigued by the inside look at what’s gone on behind the scenes at the social media platform.
Check out the trailer below, and watch The Social Reckoning when it hits theaters on October 9th.
