Hollywood’s obsession with Silicon Valley is about to reach a fever pitch with four major films set to take on controversial tech moguls.
What’s more: All the movies have key dates in October, resulting in a rather extraordinary thematic pileup as one California industry takes on another.
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.
In Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial, Andrew Garfield portrays OpenAI CEO Sam Altman during a five-day company leadership crisis when Altman was fired and then reinstated as CEO. The Neon film premieres at the New York Film Festival Oct. 5 (and gets a limited release on Dec. 25).
