Jeremy Strong 接棒演祖克柏!《社群網戰》續集重現吹哨者風暴 – INSIDE

編劇兼導演 Aaron Sorkin 確定將推出《社群網戰》續集《The Social Reckoning》,預計 2026 年 10 月 9 日上映,故事將聚焦於 2021 年轟動全球的 Facebook 內部文件洩密事件。《繼承之戰》男星 Jeremy Strong 將接替 Jesse Eisenberg,出演 Mark Zuckerberg 一角。 新片劇情圍繞前 Facebook 員工 Frances Haugen(Mikey Madison 飾演)洩密事件展開。她在 2021 年向《華爾街日報》記者(Jeremy Allen White 飾演)洩露大量內部文件,揭露公司「重利輕人」的營運策略。 洩密文件中最具衝擊性的發現包括:Facebook「很清楚」Instagram 正在傷害青少女心理健康;在衣索比亞等地區,由於非英語內容審核資源不足,平台實際上「煽動種族暴力」;Meta 對抗假消息的經費中,87% 用於英語內容,但英語用戶僅佔全體用戶 9% 等等。 Zuckerberg 長期以來對《社群網戰》的描述方式感到不滿。 他曾在訪談中表示,電影雖然連他穿什麼衣服都拍對了,但「關於我動機的整個故事主軸完全搞錯」。 Facebook 也在 Haugen 洩密事件後不久改名為 Meta。  責任編輯:Sisley 本文初稿由 INSIDE 使用 AI…
