David Fincher directed and Aaron Sorkin wrote The Social Network was a massive hit in 2010. It focused on the story of how today’s one of the major social media sites Facebook was founded. Jesse Eisenberg was brilliant as Mark Zuckerberg alongside a supporting cast of Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Tyler Winklevoss, and Max Minghella. Also, it did well at the box office grossing over $220 million. Now, the Oscar-winning screenplay writer has come up with an exciting update. 

Is Aaron Sorkin Working on The Social Network Sequel?

How much you loved watching The Social Network? It was a major critical and commercial success. And it seems we would be able to be glued to it one more time as Aaron Sorkin has brought us one positive update. 

During a live-from-D.C. edition of The Town podcast, he stated that he has seen all the impact Facebook has had on democracy since the movie’s original release. To which Sorkin said that he “will be writing about this.”

“I blame Facebook for January 6,” he added. 

When asked about why he thinks it’s Facebook to be blamed for the Jan 6 riot, he teased saying, “You’re going to need to buy a movie ticket.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Sorkin shared his displeasure with Facebook’s role in promoting divisive content with its algorithms, and according to him, Zuckerberg should be the only person to be held responsible for this strategy.

“Facebook has been, among other things, tuning its algorithm to promote the most divisive material possible. Because that is what will increase engagement. That is what will get you to — what they call inside the hallways of Facebook — ‘the infinite scroll’ … There’s supposed to be a constant tension at Facebook between growth and integrity. There isn’t. There’s just growth.” (Via The Hollywood Reporter)

“If Mark Zuckerberg woke up tomorrow morning and realized there is nothing you can buy for $120 billion that you can’t buy for $119 billion dollars, ‘So how about if I make a little bit less money? I will tune up integrity and tune down growth.’ Yes, you can do that by switching a one to a zero,” he stated his point. 

Despite all these happenings, sources close to him said that till now no studio has been involved with the project. He is just working on the project and it is in very early stages. 

Aaron Sorkin Has Been Enthusiastic About Making a Social Network Sequel

Aaron Sorkin has always been up for a follow-up Social Network movie and he has been saying this thing in various interviews. 

In 2020, appearing on the Happy Sad Confused, he said that he would be writing the sequel, but there’s one condition. The sequel has to be directed by Fincher only. 

He said that he is interested in writing about the “dark side of Facebook” but “I will only write it if [original filmmaker David Fincher] directs it. If Billy Wilder came back from the grave and said he wanted to direct it, I’d say I’d only do it with David.”

After that, he spoke to THR and said that “whatever has been going on Facebook, it’s very much worth telling.” 

“I think what has been going on with Facebook these last few years is a story very much worth telling, and there is a way to tell it as a follow-up to The Social Network, and that’s as much as I know,” he said.  

Fincher, for his part, discussed this with The Guardian and said that Sorkin and him have “talked about it, but that’s a can of worms.” 

In a 2021 interview with Deadline Sorkin again teased saying “There’s no question that there is a story. Whether you want to call it a sequel or not, there’s a story there.” 

We get it Sorkin, and we would be glad to have it, again. Make it, please. 

The Social Network is streaming on Netflix.
