14 years after the release of David’s “Social Network” tape about the creation of Facebook Fincher's film screenwriter Aaron Sorkin spoke about his work on the sequel.
Sorkin discussed the film on the Spotify podcast The Town with Matthew Belloni. The plot may center on the influence of the platform in a political situation. In particular, the screenwriter wants to write about the role of the social network in the events of January 6, 2021, when the Capitol was stormed by radical protesters.
“Yes, I will write about it. I blame Facebook for January 6th,” Sorkin said when asked how social media has affected democracy in recent years.
When asked what exactly the charges were, the screenwriter replied, “You’ll have to buy a movie ticket.” When asked if it would actually be a movie, he replied, “I'm trying.”
“Facebook, among other things, has tuned its algorithm to promote material that is as divisive as possible. Because it increases engagement. This will take you to what they call in the hallways of Facebook, infinite scrolling. … If Mark Zuckerberg woke up tomorrow morning and realized there's nothing you can't buy for $120 billion that $120 billion can't buy. “How about if I make a little less money? I'll adjust.”
Sources close to Sorkin say he is indeed working on a script similar to The Social Network. However, they emphasize that it is too early to talk about anything concrete.
