Aaron Sorkin ‘Knows Enough to Know’ He Has to Write a Sequel to The Social Network

It only took fifteen years for Facebook to go from a hotness ranking website to a lynchpin in the collapse of American democracy, but unfortunately The Social Network came out in 2010. That’s nine years of Mark Zuckerberg and his e-empire just ripe for the biopic-ing, and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin knows it. “First of all, I know a lot more about Facebook in 2005 than I do in 2018, but I know enough to know that there should be a sequel,” he told AP Entertainment. “A lot of very interesting, dramatic stuff has happened since the movie ends with settling the lawsuit from the Winklevoss Twins and Eduardo Saverin.”

Between Cambridge Analytica, fake news, and a million other smaller scandals, a follow-up to the film seems like a no-brainer, but Sorkin is pretty busy with Broadway right now. But don’t worry. The Social Network producer Scott Rudin has apparently been applying gentle pressure this entire time. Says Sorkin, “I’ve gotten more than one email from him with an article attached saying, ‘Isn’t it time for a sequel?’” Even better, there is a perfect ending already built into The Social Network 2: A Trillion Dollars.

2019 Songwriters Hall class: Missy, Cat Stevens, John Prine

NEW YORK (AP) — Missy Elliott is making history as the first female rapper inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, whose 2019 class also includes legendary British singer Cat Stevens and country-folk icon John Prine.

The organization announced the new group of inductees Saturday. Other inductees include Tom T. Hall, who Johnny Cash called his "all-time favorite songwriter"; Jack Tempchin, who co-wrote songs for the Eagles and Glenn Frey's solo albums; and Dallas Austin, the songwriter behind radio hits for TLC, Monica, Pink, Boyz II Men, Madonna and more.

Elliott is just the third rapper to enter into the Songwriters Hall, following Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri's inductions in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The new class of songwriters will officially be inducted on June 13 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
