Jeremy Strong is set to appear in The Social Reckoning, releasing on 9th October. Jeremy will be filling Mark Zuckerberg’s shoes for the big screen.
Director Aaron Sorkin is bringing Facebook under the spotlight with The Social Reckoning. Set to release on 9th October, the film stars Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg. The film is based on Wall Street Journal’s shocking 2021 investigative series, ‘The Facebook Files’. The trailers have revealed that Jeremy has tried to channel Mark to the T on the screen. Now, Jeremy has revealed that he sent an email to Mark before he began filming for The Social Reckoning.
In a recent chat, the actor revealed he reached out to Mark to assure him that he is taking the responsibility of playing the role seriously. “Listen, I know that he is a reviled person and not a popular person in our culture, but I do not think you should have an actor playing him who wants to set out to condemn him,” he told GQ. “It feels incredibly fraught to talk about the movie, to talk about Mark and being the person who is playing Mark and representing Mark in a sense to the world and to posterity; I feel an enormous sense of weight and responsibility. And listen, my job is to understand and defend his point of view and fight his fight.”
“I wrote to him—I’m probably going to give Sony an aneurysm—I sent him an email,” he added. “Just to say that I take this responsibility very seriously, and the veracity of it seriously, and I’m approaching it with respect.” Jeremy also confirmed that Mark responded to his email. However, the actor refrained from sharing details of their correspondence.
Based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking 2021 investigative series, ‘The Facebook Files’, the film tells the true story of Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, who 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.
Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release The Social Reckoning exclusively in English in theatres on 9th October.
