15 Jun - Aaron Sorkin recently admitted that he actually approached Jesse Eisenberg to reprise his role as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for his new movie before casting Jeremy Strong.

The filmmaker, who directed "The Social Reckoning" more than 15 years after the Eisenberg-starrer, "The Social Network," stated that he tried for three days to get the actor to portray Zuckerberg again, saying, "I felt like it belonged to him, and he was certainly battle-tested."

He continued, "He simply did not want to be conflated with Mark Zuckerberg anymore, that he has his problems with the guy. He doesn't like kids coming up to him in airports with business cards that say 'I'm CEO, b****' for him to sign."

Fortunately, said Sorkin, he met Jeremy Strong at the same event where he offered Eisenberg the role, and the actor expressed interest in doing it.

"He showed up on his first day, and when he said 'good morning' to me, he was already talking like Mark," said Sorkin.

In "The Social Reckoning," Facebook engineer Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison) and The Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White) blow the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets. The film will be released on 9 October.
