Why Andrew Garfield will not return to the sequel to the social network

We like it or not, Andrew Sorkin is making a sequel to “The Social Network.” This time, he is not only writing the script, but takes the reins of David Fincher. When the news was known, the industry was full of two main questions: Jesse Eisenberg would represent his interpretation of the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and it would be a role for Andrew Garfield’s co -founder, Eduardo Saverin? Zuckerberg passed as soon as the project was announced (probably because it has become increasingly demanding about the roles, but Fincher’s absence in the director’s chair probably did not help), but Garfield’s possible participation remained in the air, until now.

Indiewire Trapped with the “Tick, Tick … boom!” Star on the red carpet for the premiere of “After The Hunt” by Luca Guadagnino, and clearly declared that it will not appear in the sequel, which is now called “the social calculation.” Because? According to Garfield, “Eduardo is in Singapore having a good time.” Since he was probably the most understanding character of the first film, you please knowing that Saverin is living the sweet life in Southeast Asia. Actually, he resigned from his American citizenship in 2012 and Cola with Singaporewhere you can avoid paying somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 100 million in US taxes. If he ever returned to the United States, he could be hit with 30% in taxes on any national investment. So we have probably seen the last of Saverin in the United States. What a rompecorazones.

Then, without Saverin and, according to the reports, a support role for the replacement of Eisenberg Jeremy Strong, what the hell is “the social calculation”?

Sorkin’s sequel will star Mikey Madison as a Facebook engineer turned into an abandoned one who filters some of her company’s most harmful secrets to a Wall Street Journal reporter (played by Emmy Allen White’s winner). I hope Sorkin offers a serious game to Facebook manufactured metrics, which led to media sites’ “Pivot al Video” which put thousands of journalists without work because users supposedly preferred the video to reading (this was a massive and massive lie). Facebook, now goal, has faced a multitude of scandals in the last decade more, but remain afloat because people cannot tolerate the abandonment of a place that platform and promotes the Nazis, while allowing children to have “Sensual chats” With the company’s AI.

Sorkin is not satirical. Basically it is Stanley Kramer of his generation, a liberal filmmaker affected by the consciousness that addresses social evils and atrocities in front (as Kramer did with the blacklist of Hollywood in “High Noon”). This approach can be exhausting, but when the issue is as urgent as the goal assault on our livelihoods and the well -being of our children, Sorkin could be the man for work. This is not a nuanced issue. It’s just evil.
