Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White eyed for lead roles in 'The Social Network Part II'
Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White are reportedly Aaron Sorkin's top choices to lead The Social Network Part II, a follow-up to the acclaimed 2010 film. While no official offers have been made, insiders say the Oscar and Emmy-winning actors are Sorkin's preferred picks for the lead roles in the upcoming Sony Pictures project. The sequel, which is currently in development, is not a direct continuation of the first film but a new chapter inspired by The Facebook Files, a Wall Street Journal investigation that exposed internal practices and harms linked to Facebook. Madison is expected to play the whistleblower central to the story, while White is in line to portray journalist Jeff Horowitz. Sorkin, who won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network, is returning to write and direct. The production team includes Todd Black, Peter Rice, Stuart Besser, and Sorkin himself. Sony Pictures has not commented on casting or plot details. Released in 2010 and based on Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Millionaires, the original film received eight Oscar nominations and grossed $226 million globally. The upcoming film will cover broader themes than its predecessor, focusing on Facebook's influence beyond the US, including its impact on elections, young users, and global safety. According to sources, this is not a film about the January 6 Capitol events but a critical look at digital power and responsibility.

Love Island USA's Cierra Ortega slams ‘bad editing' and ‘strict rules' after bullying backlash

The 25-year-old was removed from the villa after past racially insensitive social media posts resurfaced, sparking major backlash from fans. In a series of TikTok videos, Cierra criticized the show's 'bad editing', accusing producers of portraying her unfairly during moments that led to bullying allegations. She referenced a specific scene where she was labeled a 'mean girl' for allegedly ignoring fellow contestant Huda Mustafa. According to Cierra, that interaction was edited out of context. 'We hugged and said a lot without words,' she explained, adding that she had just calmed down from crying and didn't want to break down on camera. @cierraortega part one: how I left the villa, media training, fame vs love there are a million and one perspectives floating around about what went down inside the walls of that place. before I begin closing out this chapter of my life, I do feel like my story matters. for those of you who watch & listen through kind eyes and ears without casting judgement, love u lots ❤️🩹 ♬ original sound - Cierra Ortega Cierra also shed light on Love Island USA's 'strict rules,' including being forced to wear bikinis daily, limited sleep, and no discussions about villa events during meals.

Fantastic Four' off to sizzling start
The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Disney's hotly anticipated reboot of the Marvel Comics superhero franchise, conquered the North American weekend box office, earning $118 million and sidelining Superman, industry estimates showed Sunday. Fantastic Four - starring actor-of-the-moment Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) - tells the story of a team of heroes trying to save a retro-futuristic world from the evil Galactus. "This is an outstanding opening," said David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "Fantastic Four was a modest and struggling superhero series; it just caught up with the biggest and the best." Superman, the latest big-budget action film featuring the iconic superhero from Warner Bros and DC Studios, slipped to second place at $24.9 million, Exhibitor Relations said. That puts the global take of the film, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, over the $500 million mark. Jurassic World: Rebirth - the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga - finished in third place at $13 million. Its worldwide total stands at $672.5 million. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility, where secrets - and genetically mutated dinosaurs - are lurking. F1: The Movie, the Apple and Warner Bros flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, moved up to fourth place at $6.2 million. Smurfs, the latest film featuring the adorable blue creatures and starring Rihanna as Smurfette, slipped to fifth place in only its second week in theaters with $5.4 million in North American ticket sales. "The box office is on an excellent run that started two weeks ago," Gross said. "These are not the good old days, but Fantastic Four and Superman are performing extremely well. Superheroes are showing some swagger, and it's good news for the industry." afp
