Alexandre Desplat (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Shape of Water, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The King’s Speech, Jurassic World Rebirth, Godzilla, Frankenstein, The Queen, Philomena) has been hired to score the upcoming drama The Social Reckoning.

The sequel to David Fincher’s 2010 feature The Social Network (scripted by Sorkin and scored by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross who received their first Academy Award for their music) tells the true story of how young Facebook engineer Frances Haugen enlists the help of Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets. Sorkin is also producing the project with Todd Black (The Pursuit of Happyness, The Equalizer), Peter Rice (28 Years Later, Warfare) and Stuart Besser (The Trial of the Chicago 7, The People Under the Starirs).
