I just hope they don’t try to portray Zuck as even remotely conflicted or moral. The whistleblowers can fill that narrative role. Depicting Zuck as anything but a heartless, machine-like accumulator of ill-gotten wealth will kill any authenticity.

Of course they will. The first one was practically a puff piece.

Published in 2021. Wild that only 4 years later that seems woefully outdated.

Hope Trent and Atticus are lined up for the soundtrack

Has the potential to be a more interesting film than the first one, given how much has happened in the years since.

Like about now, now Zuk? Or will they feature the creator of TruthSocial? They both are about someone who stole others work and passed it off as their own.

15 years?

Top Gear Maverick, Beverly Hills Cop 4, Twisters, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, those Ghostbusters movies.

Lots of movies lately that had a prior installment 20-30 years ago. 15 is probably about average now.

I meant the movie rights from that book being sold

Idk that seems to happen pretty fast these days, FOMO from the studios. What's rarer is it actually being developed.
