Facebook has been in the news frequently in the last few years, and not for good reasons. With all the behind-the-scenes turmoil at the online social media and social networking service company, many have suggested it might be time for a sequel to David Fincher‘s The Social Network. And according to screenwriter Aaron Sorkin Bikin cetakan paving dari kayu. Battleship movie youtube free. , it might happen. Sorkin recently confirmed that he himself thinks there should be a sequel, and that Social Network producer Scott Rudin has brought the subject up as well. Perhaps Jesse Eisenberg should get his hoodie and flip-flops ready again.

A lot has changed in the world of Facebook since David Fincher’s 2010 The Social Network hit theaters. For a (very) brief period of time, it looked as if Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg might run for president. That didn’t last, though, because the company came under fire for privacy issues, selling data, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a campaign against prominent liberal figure George Soros, and of course, that whole “allowing Russia to plant disinformation to help swing the 2016 election” thing. With all this in mind, the time might be right for a Social Network sequel, and Aaron Sorkin is down.

“First of all, I know a lot more about Facebook in 2005 than I do in 2018,” Sorkin said in an AP Entertainment video (via THR). “I know enough to know that there should be a sequel.”

Sorkin also confirmed that Scott Rudin, Social Network producer, has broached the topic as well:

“I’ve gotten more than one email from him with an article attached saying, ‘Isn’t it time for a sequel?’ A lot of very interesting, dramatic stuff has happened since the movie ends with settling the lawsuit from the Winklevoss twins and Eduardo Saverin.”

If Sorkin really were to write a Social Network sequel script, and Fincher returned to direct, I would be all-in. It has to be that combination, though. Without Fincher, I don’t think a follow-up would work nearly as well. Sorkin’s writing is fantastic, but I think it was the combination of Sorkin’s dialogue with Fincher’s directorial skills that made The Social Network truly wonderful. Case in point: while I think Steve Jobs is a damn fine film, and severely underrated, I also think the movie suffers under Danny Boyle’s somewhat bland direction. Had Fincher helmed the movie – as was the original plan – I think a lot more people would still be talking about it today. In short: no Fincher, no go.

There are probably people looking at this news and thinking, “What a bad idea!” But we all thought the same thing when the first Social Network was announced. I know I did. “A Facebook movie?” I thought. “How dumb!” Then it went on to become one of the best movies of the 21st century. If a sequel happens, I’ll be much more prepared to give it a chance.

• At last, a movie you can actually discuss afterward. And not just on Facebook or Twitter. No, you'll want to chew it over in person, with friends, for hours.
• Despite the fun of the parties, the intrigue of the legal wranglings and the humour of the dialogue, Fincher and Sorkin never let us forget that we're complicit in their story (or at least 500 million of us are).

  The movie's lustrous, deep-focus frames and headlong pace are difficult to resist. Its an entertainingly cynical small movie.

  You will know The Social Network is something very special from its first scene.
• The Social Network shares creative DNA with a handful of classic, zeitgeist-savvy films like Network and All the President's Men, as well as more recent fare such as The Insider and Michael Clayton.
• This is the 2010 Oscar season's first drama to live up to the hype and expectations associated with it.
• There's a cool precision and honesty to The Social Network, the story of the founding of Facebook, which guarantees its entertainment value even as it limits its emotional impact.
• It has the staccato wit of a drawing-room comedy, the fatal flaw of a tragic romance and the buzzy immediacy of a front-page headline, all powered by a kinetic engine typically found in an action flick.
• [P]roof that Fincher's directorial verve can imbue virtually any tale with urgency, be it the search for a killer or the search for a killer app.

  Despite the whiz-bang topicality, the headlong intelligence, and the many sharp collegiate scenes, this new-style movie hews pretty closely to an old-style playbook.
• What a joy to sit in a theater and be engaged, surprised, challenged, amused.
• Somehow the results come together like the perfect status update.
• What looks on paper like a static series of dead-end conversations comes to life as a vital, engaging, even urgent parable for our age.
• Everyone involved went out and made the film they were trying to make, and it's often funny and generally captivating.

  The writing is strong, and the drama -- the drama of betrayal -- is ever present.
• This account of Facebook's founder, and of the website's explosive growth, quickly lifts you to a state of exhilaration, and pretty much keeps you there for two hours.
• Thanks to David Fincher's straightforward direction, Aaron Sorkin's Oscar-level script and a half-dozen sharp performances, this is one of the best movies of the year.
• Weeks after seeing it, moments from it will haunt you.

  Fincher gives the story the vitality and clear, coherent tension of a thriller.
• One of the many remarkable things about David Fincher's movie The Social Network is the constant realization, as you watch, that this movie should by all rights have been exceedingly dull.
