'The Social Reckoning' To Be Scored By Alexandre Desplat — CultureSlate
Get the flutes and violins ready! It’s been confirmed that award-winning film composer Alexandre Desplat will provide the score for The Social Reckoning . To put Desplat’s filmography into words would be difficult, as he’s one of the busiest and most in-demand film composers alive. Since 1997, the

They're doing The Adventures of Cliff Booth although I doubt that's the issue. They worked on 3 films that released in 2025.

I dont think they were actually asking. It's a reference to when justin timberlake was pulled over

Ah okay, I was wondering why the downvotes. That one whooshed over me.

Is that confirmed? I know that they're Finchers main composers now but I can't imagine that their style would fit with a 70s OUATIH sequel.

They did score Mank and that was WAY different than almost anything else they’d done up to that point. Scoring a 1970s-set OUATIH spinoff seems like a walk in the park by comparison (especially since they both did their own take on the 1978 version of John Carpenter’s Halloween theme back in 2017). Let’s also not forget how Trent Reznor chose to primarily record “Broken” and “The Downward Spiral” in the house on 10050 Cielo Drive where Sharon Tate and others were murdered by the Manson Family in 1969. So it would be an interestingly personal full circle moment for Trent especially if he ended up scoring the flick with Atticus.

It’s clear this was only ever referred to as The Social Network Part 2 just so it could be made. If you were making a film now about Facebook where The Social Network was never made, it wouldn’t be about the creation of Facebook, it very much would be everything centred from Cambridge Analytica onwards and disillusion in reference to power which Zuckerberg has shown.

Great composer. Very different sort of movie for them, but I'm sure it'll be really good.

You can use they or them for either gender my guy. If this was 20 years ago no one would be making a stink about this, it’s just grammar dude it’s not that serious.

HappyGilOHMYGOD Mar 28, 2026 +27
I can only assume you guys are trolling but this isn't accurate at all. If I was referring to going somewhere with a friend I can say "I am planning to go with them." This is entirely normal lmao

Well, no. It's not an uncommon way to refer to someone. In fact, I've probably used and heard the word "them" in this manner every day since I was old enough to understand words.

Idk if English just isn't your native language, but you can refer to a person as "them".

Ewenf Mar 28, 2026 +24
English uses them as a neutral term when referring to someone, usually when you don't know their gender, I assume the comment above didn't want to "assume their gender" and just used "them" instead of him.

SauconySundaes Mar 28, 2026 +27
lol, are you triggered by the word “them”?

Is this movie supposed to be about Zuck creating the most socially destructive company in human history while he fucks around with embarrassing hobbies and tries to buy the entire island of Kauai?

According to IMDB… A companion piece to the hit film, The Social Network, Sorkin's original screenplay tells the true story of how Frances Haugen (Mikey Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (Jeremy Allen White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets.

That reminds me… the cambridge analytica scandal got a lot of attention from the press back then, but were there any consequences at all for Meta, Facebook, Zucks or any of the people involved?

Of course not. What, do you think justice exists in this world?

His Project Hail Mary score was godly.

Dallywack3r Mar 28, 2026 +4
Deeply disappointed it won’t have the same composer as The Social Network. That score is legendary
4
leodw Mar 28, 2026 +4
I think they’re going for a very different kind of movie this time. More traditional composer, method actors like Jeremy Strong… seems to be way less snappy like The Social Network, and more a Spotlight kind of drama if I had to guess

turnstile2243 Mar 28, 2026 +19
Different director and composer. Idk, I'm cautiously optimistic about this one
19
TylerDoesStuff Mar 28, 2026 +21
Alexandre Desplat is an INSANELY good composer though, and the legend himself, Aaron Sorkin, is writing and directing. I don't see the issue.
21
mjknlr Mar 28, 2026 +15
Sorkin wrote The Newsroom. I mean, the guy writes incredibly snappy dialogue, but without a great director like Fincher to reel him in? I’m remaining distant until the trailer drops.
15
VanDelay_Industry Mar 28, 2026 +4
Sorkin is one of the best living writers but his movie directing has been pretty hit or miss.. Mollys Game, Trial of Chicago 7, Being the Ricardos.. they are all fine but nothing that reaches the acclaim of his tv series. Now compare that to his screenplays directed by someone else: Social Network, Moneyball, Charlie Wilson’s War, A Few Good Men..

TheCrimsonBolt59 Mar 28, 2026 +6
Sorkin is a good writer but he is better when he has someone to reign in his overly sentimental dialogue. His self directed work (Molly's Game, and The Trial of the Chicago 7) shows hes not really that great of a director himself
6
TylerDoesStuff Mar 28, 2026 +1
He's a fine director. Not great but not bad by any means. I think all the other components of the film will even it out.

ahuangb Mar 29, 2026 +1
I don't think being cautiously optimistic is a negative thing

Same amazing writer though, Aaron Sorkin. I'm pretty optimistic he'll do an awesome job.

If you can't get NIN I would have liked to see Cliff Martinez or Nathan Micay

tight, Desplat always nails it. super excited to see what he brings to this film!

kroqus Mar 28, 2026 +6
Sonically, a completely different wavelength and not sure about that. This coupled with Jeremy Strong taking over as Zuck from Eisenberg, and this more or less feels like a detached movie.

LollipopChainsawZz Mar 28, 2026 +2
It's been described as a companion piece. It's not a direct sequel but something you can watch right after The Social Network if you're curious about what happened after

Every day I wake up and this film just gets stronger.

His score for Birth remains all time top OST for me!

t_thor Mar 29, 2026 +1
GOAT movie score composer in my opinion. There are other heavyweights of course, but Desplat always knocks it out of the park.

littleb3anpole Mar 29, 2026 +1
I mean Reznor and Ross literally won the Oscar for The Social Network. Did they lose Trent Reznor’s number or something?
1
LeatherAnybody4550 Mar 29, 2026 +1
Desplat is a class act but honestly this whole movie feels like it needs something more jagged and anxious — the NIN score for the first one was so perfectly unsettling that anything else is gonna feel like a downgrade no matter who does it.

ninjyte Mar 28, 2026 +1
Alexandre Desplat has worked with Roman Polanski on his last 6 movies btw, with the most recent one being in 2023
