Aaron Sorkin Considering Writing a Steve Jobs Movie

Whether we knew which com­pa­ny would place the win­ning bid or not, I doubt any­body was real­ly sur­prised when Hol­ly­wood expressed inter­est in pro­duc­ing a movie ver­sion of the Steve Jobs biog­ra­phy. In the end, Sony acquired those sought-after movie rights.

And who bet­ter to bring that story to life than the man who quite suc­cess­ful­ly trans­lat­ed the story of Face­book founder Mark Zucker­berg into the award-winning movie, The Social Net­work, last year. If the rumors prove to be true it is look­ing like Aaron Sorkin may be con­sid­er­ing this hefty job.

Even before there is a script to deliv­er, A-list actors are clam­or­ing to play the lead. George Clooney has appar­ent­ly expressed inter­est in the part though many feel the haunt­ing­ly accu­rate rep­re­sen­ta­tion of Jobs given by Noah Wyle in the 1999 movie The Pirates of Sil­i­con Val­ley makes him a more log­i­cal choice. But we real­ly are in the early stages of this project and if it does come to life then I think we can expect other options will emerge...........
