Sony Pictures has released a teaser for the upcoming film “The Social Reckoning,” promising a fresh take on Facebook’s controversial history. The movie centers on Frances Haugen, the former engineer who exposed hidden data in 2021.

• Frances Haugen – Mikey Madison
• Journalist Jeff Horwitz – Jeremy Allen White
• Mark Zuckerberg – Jeremy Strong

The trailer highlights tense meetings and a scene where Zuckerberg rehearses his congressional testimony. This film is a companion to the 2010 biopic “The Social Network.” While the original focused on the company’s early days, this new piece shifts to recent struggles with privacy and transparency.

Aaron Sorkin, the original writer of “The Social Network,” now writes and directs this installment. Known for sharp dialogue and political commentary, Sorkin suggests the film will confront criticism head-on.

Supporting roles feature Bill Burr, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, and Billy Magnussen, adding depth to the narrative.

Release Date: October 9
The film aims to spark discussion about corporate responsibility and whistleblowing in the digital age, offering audiences a chance to examine the power dynamics of social media platforms.
