During 2012 Sony Pictures bought the screen rights to his only authorized biography Steve Jobs and contracted the famous writer Aaron Sorkin to write the script of the upcoming film. With the script finished and apparently approved, those from Sony is now looking for a director for the film and David Fincher, the director of the famous film The Social Network, would be in discussions to lead this project. The film would center on 3 major product launches Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the entire action being grouped into 3 scenes of 30 minutes each that tell the story of each individual product.
Like Zuckerberg, Jobs was a complicated visionary who became a polarizing figure. Under Jobs' watch, Apple revolutionized several businesses, including personal computers, music, computer-generated animation and mobile phones. In the process, he became known as one of the greatest innovators of his generation. At the same time, he was unapologetic about his difficult personality, was at one point ousted at Apple and was criticized for the harsh treatment of workers in China who assembled Apple products.
The Social Network is a film that describes the story of the creation of the famous social network Facebook, she winning three prizes Oscar and being nominated for another 3. Considering that everything Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay for The Social Network, it wouldn't be hard to believe that David Fincher could direct the upcoming Steve Jobs movie. In the past, David Fincher has directed films such as Fig Club, Panic Room or the American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo, the first 2 being enormously successful.
In the summer of last year, the movie jOBS was released in which Ashton Kutcher played Steve Jobs, but it was nowhere near the success that its producers would have wanted. In the case of the Sony film, we are talking about a completely different budget, about a completely different production team, but also about the support brought by Steve Wozniak, he being co-opted as a consultant. It is not yet known when the new film will be released, but it will probably arrive in cinemas next year.
