Hollywood Puts Four Tech Moguls on Trial in October Movie Pileup - The Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood is releasing a wave of films in October focusing on controversial Silicon Valley figures, including Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Elizabeth Holmes. These projects explore the intersection of tech ambition, ethics, and the potential societal consequences of unchecked power.
Why it matters

Hollywood’s obsession with Silicon Valley is about to reach a fever pitch with four major films set to take on controversial tech moguls.

And oddly enough: Earlier this week, three of the projects released their first teaser trailers (below) within 48 hours of each other.
In Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning , Jeremy Strong plays Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a sequel (or “companion piece,” as Sony insists on calling it) to The Social Network . The project opens wide Oct. 9.
